Vita Nova Series

The “Vita Nova” series is composed of small to medium sized sculptures exploring abstract shapes based on new plant growth. The concept sprung from the idea of starting over and new beginnings. When I started down this path I didn’t realize how captivating the forms were. The smooth, undulating curves create an implied motion. You can almost see them grow. The multiple finishes and size make these a perfect addition to a home or corporate setting, indoors or out. Although I think they stand out individually, they really shine in groups. There will almost always be a few of these available for instant purchase and custom versions focused on your particular project can be ordered anytime.
