As a sculptor, transforming a clay original into a lasting, durable form is an essential part of my creative process.

Bronze casting is a technique that has existed for over 6,000 years, and remains remarkably similar today to the methods used by ancient artisans. There’s something timeless and grounding about working within that same tradition.

Every sculpture begins with clay, whether water- or wax-based, built up over a metal armature. From there, the real magic begins. It takes countless days to capture likeness, emotion, and depth. The intangible qualities that bring a sculpture to life. While sculpting, I always ask myself one question: What is this animal trying to tell me?

I also love combining bronze with other materials such as hardwood or granite. The contrast of textures and tones enhances both elements beautifully. I often use these pairings to evoke natural patterns like scales or shells, or to create distinctive bases that complement the forms above them.
