I aim to imbue my work with life, giving the appearance as if it has grown into existence. I use both botanical and anthropomorphic forms and characteristics making pieces with fruits, buds, creases, and folds. The different parts appear as if they grow of one another helping make visual and physical sense. I work with wood in a conscious manner, appreciating its color, grain, and imperfections as I unearth its beauty and create artwork with permanence.
