I have chosen the wood vessel for my sculptural ideas because I find it to be a comfortable place for both the viewer and myself to start. From here I can explore the issues of form and texture, scale and color, all in the natural beauty of wood. I hope these pieces have a soothing presence that provides restful relief in an increasingly pressured world.
