Statement

My work is informed and inspired by the land in which I live, history and architecture. Often incorporated in my works are old objects and shards of items once used or seen but now forgotten. Process and technique is important to me, the work is narrated with descriptive surface texture. Nature is another essential element in my life. The pattern, repetition, and consistency show through in the items that leave my bench, carrying with them great detail and an acute intricacy like so many of the wonderful plants found on my daily walks.
