... simple objects whose intrinsic beauty has been overlooked by others. I search flea markets, trash heaps, dumpsters and demolition sites for materials and inspiration. I rescue these treasures, then find new, unexpected uses for them in order to share with others the simple, organic beauty they possess.
I believe it's important for all of us to take care of the remarkable world we live in, and so I strive to be eco-friendly in all that I do. Each of my pieces is based primarily on materials either salvaged or discovered in nature. I try to be resourceful in my methods as well, using recycled paints, hardware and other materials as much as possible. As a result of this attention and care, each piece of artwork that I create is bothy easy on the earth and and truly one-of-a-kind.
