Biography:
My wood eco-art is an interesting mixture of natural beauty, spiritual metaphors, re-purposing and humor. My organic designs come from the distorted boards I rescue. The natural form of the old broken boards and the partly decayed wood informs my art. I feel like I was a broken board that God rescued and my art tells this story. I also believe we are all disabled (some of us hide it better than others). The weak and fragile have unique strength and beauty and my art embodies the respect and honor due those who are wrongly judged. To balance the depth of this symbolism, I add my humor by shocking people with secret compartments, removable walls or tops, false bottoms, concealed drawers, or backwards-opening doors. The interaction between the art and the audience is magical. “No trees were harmed in the making of this wood art.”
