My training in ceramics, woodworking and metals gave me the skill set to explore the unexpected in my art. My recent sculptures combine laser cut aluminum, hardwoods, and subtly incorporated found objects as a decorative element. As a proud native of the Pacific Northwest, I try to use found or reclaimed materials whenever possible, leaving less of a footprint on the earth. The mark of the hand is important to me, and I believe it creates more meaningful art for those who live with it every day.
