Artist Statement
My work is process driven and inspired by a simple rock garden, morning meditation and memory.

Each piece is extemporaneously developed and contains open ended symbols that encourage personal interpretation and reflection.

Dwellings have always appealed to me as subject. They can be places of quiet solitude, love, harmony, sadness and unrest. A place to work, learn and grow. We live in them and each has a story to tell.
