Artist Statement

I have been working with found objects since I was a young kid. I am especially drawn to toys, architectural fragments, and parts of old machines. My work is greatly influenced by Louise Nevelson and Joseph Cornell. These bronzes represent the zenith of my explorations in found object art.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, I make my home in Southwest Detroit, where I have lived since 1967. I have taken art classes at the College for Creative Studies since 1984.
