Most of my sculptures are initially created as maquettes, which are then either cast into bronze or transferred into stone.
The themes of my work are frequently of Native American dancers and other subjects integral to Pueblo culture. I show my work at my studio in Pojoaque and at the Poeh Museum. There are also four large stone sculptures on public display within the Pueblo of Pojoaque. Many of my commissioned and purchased pieces are in private collections throughout the world.
While I show my work in museums and galleries, I also choose to show my artwork in Pojoaque, as much as possible, as a model for the viability and development of the arts for the people of Pojoaque and northern New Mexico.
This choice is in keeping with my focus to further public recognition of the Pueblo of Pojoaque as an arts training center and utilizing this work to reflect how Pojoaque has flourished, both in earlier times and for the past decade.
