Juried by Dr. Lawrence Wheeler, Director of the North Carolina Museum of Art

Here are the comments made by Dr. Lawrence Wheeler to the Craven Arts Council on Nemesis:

"Dr. Lawrence Wheeler our show juror mentioned that he’s known your work for quite some time” and that you “always achieve the mark.” Calling it “original” and “expressive,” he had the feeling that “there’s a figure in there, almost mummified, trying to get out, to live and breathe free.” He also mentioned how your carved striations in the limestone have great rhythm, “ saying, he loves “the technical inventiveness” with which you carve."
