Artist Statement
My creating began with a pair of wire cutters, some copper and leather, while tinkering in my dad's barn. Inhabited by a collection of antiques, I saw beauty behind fragments left behind by once utilized objects.
The objects in their natural form are a work of art in themselves. If I can find a separate purpose, then another beauty can be brought to the surface that was hidden within. They are unique, phenomenal pieces, and I enjoy finding ways to bring them altogether into one, to make a tangible story.

The simpler the sculpture, the harder it is to create. It takes more craftsmanship to make it look natural. I love the search to sit and connect individual parts, repositioning each one until they achieve a natural, effortless union. The form, shape, color, and texture it owns, is what brings my ideas to life. I find pure enjoyment in pulling the sculptures right out of the pieces themselves, like they were meant to be there, with just a little bend and twist.
