Studio La Valleur

My sculptural practice centers on curiosity, exploration, and the discoveries that emerge through creating.

Through distinctive abstract metal works united by bold color and clean lines, my work investigates how abstract forms can carry profound human themes, building sculptures that resonate on both visual and emotional levels.

Each year, I book a handful of commissions for Texas, US and international projects in collaboration with private Institutions + collections, Hospitality industry, Architects, Landscape Designers, Art Consultancies and Public Art Agencies.

Founder + Creative Director

My journey as a sculptor began with a fascination for the interplay of form and space. Today I create abstract metal sculptures that reflect my multi-cultural upbringing, my passion for travel, and my exploration of the resilience of the human spirit.

With 25 years of professional creative experience, I bring a unique perspective to my artistic practice. My sculptures invite viewers to connect with the work on a personal level (and often interactive level), inviting curiosity, pause and contemplation.

I blend design principles with modern fabrication techniques to produce dynamic and evocative works.  From intimate pedestal pieces to public works, my sculptures invite you to discover your own interpretations and response.

This year, my work was selected for the Marfa Invitational Open | Texas in Marfa, TX May 16-26, 2025
