Black Lily Studio

Artist's Statement My subject matter has remained rooted in themes of nature, feminine beauty and animals. Sculpture's are created with the intent of bringing a figure to life that is both whimsical and elegant simultaneously. A successful piece exudes something of a life force in an apparent though ephemeral personality. The paradox in the work that the up cycled material is commonly disposed of in ways that affects the very creatures I am creating is important to me. One artistic goal is for my work to speak, draw attention to the use of recycled materials (that are intentionally not obvious) and to the importance of preserving our eco systems. Installation should be on a concrete pad 3' - 6 foot diameter and 4" thick . Cast concrete bases are formed as part of the sculpture with cast sleeves to accept 1/2 x 10 " wedge anchors or eye bolts cast into the base horizontally that can be bolted with wedge anchors to a sites concrete pad.
