Inspired by the drama of the primal rock landscape of the Southwest and my Zen Buddhist practice, I make sculptures in my Santa Fe studio using stones I collect and wrap in cane, fusing ancient Japanese basketry knots with contemporary design. Mainly a painter for the last 3 decades, I began experimenting with Japanese paper and cane 2 years ago and taught myself to weave and wrap rocks. I love using natural, sustainable materials to bring nature, simplicity and joy to a larger audience.
