the international art community including an
Oscar in Art. Her built works include several
permanent pieces and are in more than 600

private collections. When sculpting she works
predominantly in bronze and glass, celebrating
contrasts to carve out delicate figures. Her

pieces are at once graceful, delicate, simple and
monumental. She draws on the human figure as a
common language that speaks to us. Through her
style she is able to achieve works that evoke the
universality of human condition. It is a language that

is accessible to all regardless of age, culture, and
education. Because of this, her figures, at times,
are intentionally impersonal and anonymous.  UNIVERSE, 2010 FRESCO TEMPERA 53X39 IN. | 134.6X99 CM.
