As a landscape designer, I’ve always loved to work with trees and rocks. My sculptures have grown organically out my relationship with nature, its form and movement, the beauty of the stones, the structure of the trees. I have a passion for finding beautiful rocks, lifting them into space with meaningful form. Stone and steel have enduring qualities, where strength and grace can merge.
As the steel is drawn from the earth, forged and transformed with fire ... the stones, unburied, are lifted into clear view and the sculpture can carry the deeper levels of experience into form.
I enjoy doing large projects. Like the trees, these sculptures sometimes grow and evolve. Benches, interior and exterior pieces, figurative projects, have all come out of this direct and personal relationship with the elements.
