Biography

I am a sculptor. I am a hummingbird researcher. I am a master teacher.

For more than 60 years, my consuming passion has been to integrate these parts of myself into a unified whole and to share that process with others.  Now I work every day in my studio on Quadra Island, surrounded by rocks, trees, ferns, and wildlife.  I occasionally speak, write, and consult on education.

My sculptures embody the “shape” of my experience of the world. Recurring themes arise, and manifest in sculptural form.  My art, like my life, is a work in progress. Each nourishes the other. They are inseparable.
