It starts with a thought, a dream or a word. I research, compare, explore and disappear into a world of figure and form. The infinite possibilities delight me and I seek to capture the stories and soul within each piece.

I “unsculpt” to keep the beautiful imperfections and forms that happen organically. Most of my work is figurative and I add to the narrative by using stains, glazes, recycled objects and treasures found in nature.

With my art I hope to touch viewers in a way that inspires them to explore their own ideas and stories.
