My body of work originates from the pure enchantment of beauty, with form and light woven through with satire. My palate primarily botanical in origin, exploiting the simple effects of form and color juxtaposition at the time of creation. The mode of expression ranges from simple media to a complex verities of inorganic / organic materials. Represented with various species of wood intertwined with elements of stainless steel, bronze, and folded copper.

      It represents for me the re-discovery of guiltless instinct to reveal what the poet Shelley described as 

 "blank astonishment" ......"that charms every sense and makes all thought take wing"
