Deeply affected by the terminally ill children and elderly patients I encountered as a non-emergency ambulance driver, my painted and sculpted figures reflect their strength and vulnerability. My work addresses the way social, political, and psychological structures impact our behavior and personal interactions. By imbuing sculptures of children with adult characteristics and mannerisms, I tackle issues relating to violence, empowerment, endurance and what they reveal about human nature.
