Artist's Biography
“I am a sculptor, who also enjoys painting and drawing. I am not tied to any
particular medium, and I thrive in experimenting and blending many
materials. I am interested in forms, surfaces, visual metaphors and the
emotional responses that my art work evokes. I particularly enjoy teaching art
and using these processes both as forms as self-expression and as a means to
heal oneself. ” -- Darlene S. Boyd
