“My artistic themes focus on beauty, love, and the interrelationship between people. Gesture and movement are an important part of my work.  PALOMA was inspired by a photograph by Howard Schatz.  I found the pose was so remarkable that I could hardly believe the human body in motion could do it. My sculpture is actually an interpretation of the famous Argentine-born ballet dancer, Paloma Herrera. She had a unique control of her body, which choreographers and directors loved.  It was intriguing to watch Paloma digest the music and wrap the movement around her. She worked in musical phrases, not typical musical counts.”
