Recycled beer stein, Apoxie sculpt, acrylic paint and wire
Just look at that mug!
Some dogs seem to smile all the time—and Mugsy is definitely one of them. Whether it’s time for a walk, a treat, or a nap on the couch, this happy guy is always ready. With his adorable underbite and sparkling white teeth, he is impossible to resist.
Mugsy is crafted from a recycled beer stein, and his wide-open mouth only adds to his quirky charm. It even doubles as a secret storage spot—perfect for tucking away a few small hidden treasures.

6" x 6" x 22" Found objects, wire, wood and Apoxie Sculpt
This toothy reptile sculpture was crafted from an old, roughly hewn wooden spoon, the remnants of a child’s toy dinosaur, and a candle holder. He was inspired by a recent trip to Botswana, where we spotted several crocodiles lounging in the Okavango Delta. I find them fascinating and frightening at the same time.
What I love most about nature is the unexpected relationships. This dangerous creature rests on the shoreline, mouth wide open, inviting the fearless Egyptian Plover to hop right in and clean his teeth—trust and survival at work.

15" x 9.5" x 9.5" Recycled objects, wood, wire and epoxy sculpt Ready to display Contained Chaos is a 3D sculpture featuring three felines bursting with personality. Each cat is sculpted individually and mounted on a steel foundation that fits into the wire basket. A wooden base has been added for stability. This collaborative piece invites you to make it your own. Add your collection of treasures to the basket to enhance and personalize the sculpture. Plus, the cats can be removed if you want to give them a break from their container. The sculpture is inspired by the painting, Trifecta, that captures the same three distinct personalities. -
15" x 30" Acrylic On 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Sides painted black Ready to hang I used to dream about flying—running fast, lifting off the ground, and soaring above it all. Even in those dreams, the sense of freedom was powerful. These days, I try to fly in other ways. Sometimes that means letting go of things—or people—that weigh me down. Other times, it means taking risks I once didn’t have the courage to face. As the years pass, time feels more precious. We'll never know how high can we fly if our feet never leave the ground. -
21" x 14" x 14 Repurposed objects, wire, beads, fabric and epoxy sculpt Ready to display As technology plays an ever-increasing role in our daily lives — especially with AI — there's a mixture of hope and fear. This sculpture, Roz and Ozzie, explores that reality and represents the irreplaceable connections that make life worthwhile. Created from a variety of recycled materials, this 3D sculpture brings to life Roz, the well-worn robot, and her loyal companion, Ozzie — a bond built on trust and love. This is one of my interactive pieces, inviting you to become part of the story. Roz’s head is removable, revealing a wire basket where you can add your own collection of treasures. Let's collaborate — weaving our stories together and creating something even more meaningful. I love that Roz is holding her beloved dog and covered with a collection of unexpected attachments that bring her quirky personality to life. -
6" x 18" Acrylic on watercolor paper Mounted on 1 1/2" cradled wood panel Sides painting black Ready to hang These cats started as a simple mark-making session of play, but as I worked, their personalities started to emerge. I love moments when the unexpected happens. While first came to life in paint, I've continued their adventure in 3D. You’ll find them gathered again in a single sculpture, Contained Chaos, also featured in my collection. -
20" x 16" Acrylic On 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Sides painted black Ready to hang You know that moment when a dog finally figures out the mirror isn’t a portal to another world—or another dog? No barking. No circling. Just a calm stare into the glass, as if to say, “Yep. That’s me. Still gorgeous!” What makes this moment fun is a background. The mirror doesn’t just show the dog—it reflects home. A mountain view and a comfy chair complete the scene. It’s a snapshot of the everyday, the ordinary, the real. This painting was inspired by my sculpture Up Close and Personal. It’s the same dog, just from the opposite perspective—which I found really fun and intriguing. It tells even more of the story: one about the small, funny, honest moments that make life with a dog (and a mirror) so memorable. -

A repurposed meat thermometer serves as the instrument panel — and even provides an approximate read of the room temperature! Brimming with unexpected materials and imaginative details, Wheels Up invites us to dream bigger and take off toward the adventures that await when we’re brave enough to go for it. -

15" x 30" Mixed media on 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Ready to hang It may feel safer to stand on the shore, but we'll never realize our dreams unless we are willing to take the risk and set sail. The boat was created from letters and documents from the mid-1800's gifted to me by a friend who asked that I give them new life in my work. A pressed flower was in one of the letters and the petals have been collaged onto the sail. Our history gives us the foundation to move forward to the next adventure.
