The need or desire to create has been a part of me from an early age. The explanation of that need has given shape to who I have become. A deep connection to the natural world inspires all of my works…from furniture, to sculpture, to paintings. A common thread being simplicity.

The viewer is induced to focus on a naturally occurring element, a shape, a pattern or a combination of colors. The representation does not force but, rather, encourages a meditative calm. And in this appreciative state we are compelled to acknowledge that life is truly a gift.
