Blue Star Contemporary Art Center and the Texas Sculpture Group have collaborated to create an interior sculpture exhibition at the Blue Star in San Antonio.

Artist Statement
Once my kids started preschool part-time, I decided to try art classes purely for a creative outlet in a place with no children to worry about. The lush grounds of Laguna Gloria with the parading peacocks were inspirational and when I discovered sculpture it felt like I had found my niche.
Looking back throughout my educational and professional pursuits, I realize art never really entered my consciousness as a possible career until I got older. Perhaps it was due to my cultural upbringing but I felt like expectations of me were to be a doctor, lawyer or accountant.
Since children are naturally creative I found that parenthood helped unlock the creativity inside me. What started as one art class – to get away – has turned into a new life passion.
I love learning about art and working with my pieces, and I especially enjoy working with wood. It’s a sane, slow world again when something beautiful can be created from nature’s gifts.
