"Imperfection in nature is, to me, inherently beautiful and intriguing.  I take great care selecting the organic materials I use in my artwork, looking for the blemished and less than perfect.  To counterbalance the raw, natural aspects of my pieces, I incorporate various graphic elements.  I rely heavily on the use of negative or open space to achieve a clean, uncomplicated design style.  I make a conscious effort to not overwork my pieces.  My aim is to visually evoke a feeling of solace and tranquility.

Over my lifetime I've explored a broad spectrum of mediums.  Each one has enabled me to evolve and develop my personal creative identity.  My current body of work is a clear reflection of my appreciation for nature and it's profound effect on me."
