artist statement

---

 I say in wood that which I cannot reach through verbal language. I use my tools in such a way as to let the dark glue between the layers stand out and flow. I layer the plywood and carve deeply going all the way through in places, adding color to enhance the natural flow.

My art plays with the unseen, the spiritual, the intuitive and relationships between people. I see my time in the studio as intense meditation and a privilege. My approach to the wood I use, the lines I draw, the fiber I knot and the way I carve and drill holes is a process that has become intuitive because I have been practicing for so long.

It truly is a privilege for me to create in this way.
