Art as a practice is good for our bodies and souls. I look to natural shapes as inspiration for my work, using wood, glass, stone and encaustic wax paint to interpret what my mind sees, often including multiple materials in one piece of art.

I see creativity and problem-solving as the basis for innovation, whether in art or industry. Without creative expression, our modern, human world would crumble; so, I strive to bring joy to others through my artistic endeavors.

I have been an artist at heart for many years but retirement from industry in 2017 has given me the freedom to focus on learning and practicing art as my way of life.
