This sculpture represents a family of three generations of women. Mary Ruth Elizabeth is “in the family way.” Mary is from a past generation when women were required to be a little more demure during pregnancy, therefore her head is tilted a little forward and her arms wrap around her unborn daughter. The flow of her long dress and head covering also wrap forward to keep private her “condition”. Turning the sculpture you see that Mary’s daughter, Mary Ruth Elizabeth II has grown into a beautiful strong woman and that she is now pregnant with her daughter. “Ruth’s” generation is not required by our society to be so secretive about her pregnancy. Pregnant women are welcomed in public and sometimes even celebrated. Ruth’s head is held high. Her long hair is lose and her curls flow freely down her back which is arched in the famous pregnancy stance… belly pushed forward, both hands supporting the small of the back. Her dress also flows freely accenting her round belly and predicting the birth of “Elizabeth,” Mary Ruth Elizabeth III. This sculpture celebrates the mother-daughter-granddaughter bond of all families.

Mariah is from that breathtaking view… that shortness of breath that comes from standing on a mountain top, way up high amongst the wind.
You can see Mariah at the the Grovewood Gallery at Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C. (www.grovewood.com)

Flamingo is one of the sculptures that had been floating around in my head for several years before I finally got a chance to carve it. I’m looking forward to producing several more water bird sculptures. I have the stone and the design for a blue heron I hope to work on soon.

For me, the snow owl represents the wisdom one hopes to acquire by their “winter” years. Being a mask, it brings to mind the question, “Could I be hiding behind my established wisdom/expertise – not permitting myself to consider new ideas or skills.” This sculpture is to acknowledge and celebrate acquired wisdom and gently reminds us to always “hunt” for more.
Turbulent Waters - $5,000
Indiana Limestone on a forged steel base

When I was whitewater kayaking “turbulent water” was always stimulating and challenging and usually offered an opportunity for a new experience… if I could only get though to the other side up right and safe. Maybe “turbulent waters” in our lives can offer some of these same ideas.

She comes from the bottom of the ocean where she slow dances to a different time frame. Exhaling, the bubbles slowly float to the top.
