In my art I’ve come to believe that there can be no separation between humanitarian, social, political, and environmental issues. More and more I’m incorporating unappreciated and discarded materials, transforming them into small communities to create forms and giving the materials new life. At the root of this work is a respect for nature and all the materials that surround us. These pieces are part of a searching dialogue between me and the world. Artist's Statementĭon’t we all want to express something about this world we find ourselves living in? I’m not a writer, so what I do to voice my concerns, my dreams, and my questions is to wrestle, rip, stack, bend, wrap, tie, bind, burn, hang, pile, cut, chisel, nail, solder, weave, bolt, drill, beat, and grind materials in such ways to create sculptural forms that have their own stories to tell. ![]() Recent group exhibitions include: Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, MD The Portsmouth Museum in Portsmouth, VA The Historical Society of Washington in DC Rowan University Art Gallery, Glassboro in NJ and The Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, DC.

Sculptor Brent Crothers has been working professionally for over 30 years from Stoney Forest in Harford County, Maryland where he built his own home and studio. (Jaques Kelly, "Brent Crothers, plumber turned prize-winning sculptor, dies", BaltimoreSun, 2020) Before that experience, I would have never considered using the peace sign as part of my art work. It brought home the fragility of life and made me re-evaluate what it means to be an American. Crothers wrote, "Two weeks into graduate school, September 11th happened, which textured my two years there.
