Artist Statement
I am now working on a "flock" of twenty whimsical crocheted sheep sculptures representing an eclectic cross-section of American popular culture. These will be shown in a solo exhibition, at The Art League Gallery, Alexandria, Virginia in May 2011. The show, entitled "Baa-AMERICA!" is a celebration of American popular culture.
