World of Wishes
World of Wishes is made from 100 wishbones cast into bronze and welded together to form a sphere. Here I entertain the idea of wishes floating around the globe with the possibility of some of them landing, more likely to do good than not.

Cherish
Cherish is an image with feathers surrounding a face and a hand holding or carrying a crystal globe. The face, hand and feathers are cast in bronze and patinated white. It is an image that potrays the need to protect our world and take it to a safer place.

Mother Earth Sleeping
Here I use maple leaves cast in bronze and place them around a female face. The patination is in autumn colours - giving the impression that mother earth is sleeping and trusting us to look after the world.

Celebration
Cast in bronze, Celebration depicts a cast from actual hands with rose leaves and a rose growing from the midst of the hands. The hands hold the rose in such a gentle way while one thorn is visible on the stem.  This piece was made to celebrate a great lady and was a private commission by her family to celebrate her life and love for her children.
