Kendra prefers to sculpt using the slower steady method with just a hammer and chisel, it feels more familiar and intimate to me. I enjoy the challenges and surprises along the sculpting journey, and I love it when small fossils occasionally appear.

I am self-taught and find it’s a great privilege to be able to create with these mediums and art forms. I enjoy carving human form. I feel doing human form connects me with my ancestral history which brings a whole new meaning and purpose to the finished art work.

My sculptures are an exploration of my passion for texture, patterns and experimentations with light. I love repetition. Although in each series of my work pieces are all similar and connected, each one is hand-made and unique if only by a small difference.

A few years ago I developed a new material to make large lightweight wall tiles that I found out later had advantages as a medium for art. I call it Artis Fiberclay. It feels like stone in texture and looks like terracotta except it is light and a kiln is not needed.
