I have studied and participated in and led Native American transformational ceremonies for forty years. They have informed my life and my sculpture. As a tribute to the awakening of sexually traumatized women in the transformational ceremonies I have formed in clay (then bronze) the antidote: women in celebration of their own inner perfection and joy. That sculptural work developed into a full study and as book about the sacredness and power of women's sexuality, what happened to it, and how it might be recovered. More recently, I have worked on a series representing the ways in which our culture enacts love, positively and negatively: "Love, What's it to Ya?" Lately, I have been working on a ceramic series: "Where is Love?"
My work has been exhibited across the United States, in France, in Italy, in Luxemburg, Japan, and South Africa. It has been awarded many prizes. The Museum of Art in Ventura hosted a retrospective in 2019.
