I see a combination of elegance, primitiveness, and whimsy in much of my work.  I like to incorporate distinction in material, color, texture and shape.  I love the structure and utility of natural tree parts and often include these in even my more traditional pieces. I can’t resist the visual contrast between the natural elegance of wood, just as it grew, with the more refined dimensional parts of my projects. 

I have worked in numerous art media, many of which I incorporate into my current work of creating abstract furniture and other functional art.  My pieces are composed primarily of wood, with highlights of metal, leather, stained glass, ceramic, paint, etc.  More than anything else I feel like a sculptor, wherein my sculptures often have utility. I find my art expresses part of me I can express in no other way.   My work is intended to provoke thought and interpretation in the minds of my audience.
