From the Artist: I see my sculpture as snapshots of the mind and soul at a particular point in time. In this time of crisis and isolation, ART can bring us together, remind us that we are not alone, and show how resilient the human spirit can be. We may be hurting, and we need things that bring joy and beauty more than ever. My Warriors are sculptures made entirely of kiln-formed glass, attached to a metal or stone stand. These standing glass sculptures may not look resistant to the elements, which is exactly why they are beautiful and surprising additions to outdoor spaces. We have been reminded repeatedly in recent years that warriors are defined by resilience and strength in battle. The warriors we exalt outlast their challenges, and don't dwell on the failures. My Warriors are intended to inspire the same grit, so viewers walk away from the sculptures feeling confident. Each Warrior embodies a different type of strength. Together, they show that individuals are strongest when they accept their vulnerability and turn it into strength.
