Sculpture

public art sculptures

“My latest series includes a mosaic or stained-glass appearance, utilizing acrylic rather than actual glass. I am inspired by the stained-glass I viewed in churches as a younger person attending mass, as well as national & international travel where I observed historic churches with beautiful stained-glass. I wanted to bring this style into my sculptures and create representational imagery. In hopes that the added colors and vibrancy to my art that might bring joy to the viewers in each space they inhabit. Enjoy!”
