Home, for me, is not a place or a possession.  Home is the people I love and who love me.  The people who care for me and give me safe harbour through all of life’s storms.

In material and form, my sculpture, “Family” represents the strong connections of family and the joy it brings to our lives.  With the support of family, we can take chances and reach higher, knowing someone is there to catch us when we fall. 

The figures are neutral in gender, age and race, representing inclusiveness and diversity.  Each of the figures is strong in material and form showing that every individual is vital and contributes in important ways to the family and to the community.
