Sculpture My sculptures are predominantly in hardwoods: cherry, oak, maple and beech. Sizes range from 2' to 6' in height and are meant to be viewed in the round. In sculpting, I attempt to bring out the wood's natural beauty and the designs of the wood itself. If I don't have a preconceived idea of what I wish to create, I ask the wood to direct me. I encourage onlookers to touch my pieces, for my sculptures are as much a tactile expression as a visual one. It is in the creation of my work that I feel the fulfillment of my art; once a piece is complete, it is no longer for me, but for others.

Most of my work is not consciously recognizable, and people may ask what a particular piece is. My answer is usually "...wood...". Though some of my sculptures have their basis in a known image, not every viewer will see the same thing. The Cathedral with its rose window was thought to be two loving giraffes intertwined by one heart!
