It's a long interview, but if you get the chance, listen to as much as you can. Thank you Joanne Mathis for giving me this opportunity and asking such wonderful questions!

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK


Last week I sold "African Queen" to a lovely woman from Palm Harbor who had seen an article about me in the Tampa Bay Times. I wanted to share the story behind the sculpture. Years ago I traveled with my daughter to Africa for three months. One country we visited was Mali, one of the poorest countries in the world. While there, a teenage mother tried to give me her infant, and I met a man who lived in a one-bedroom house with his family of 35 people. Most people cook, eat, work, socialize and sleep on the street. It was a life changing experience. Every day I would sketch and make notes. This sculpture is from a sketch of a woman who, although she was extremely poor, carried herself like a queen.
