"I grew up in the green environment of Indiana. As a child, I was lucky enough to live close to a forest preserve. I spent a lot of time with nature; trees and running water. Early best memories include art classes, drawing, coloring, and painting. I loved to light candles and experiment with the forms created by melting wax. It seems some of my current works reflect these early influences."

"My work is inspired by a love of the seen and unseen beauty of the natural world: plants, animals and the flowing, pulsing nature of life. "

"My current works are hand carved Colorado Alabaster."
