As trees are thought to be the center of life on earth, so is wood to my art. I use wood as the central element of all my work. As an artistic woodturner and resin artist, I let the wood choose what it wants to be in the end. My turned objects don’t always fit in a single category. For my resin art I combine other element like seashells, rocks, in-animate objects, and use resin to bind all the elements together. The wood I select is ethically sourced from primarily urban, salvaged and reclaimed wood. Sometimes I could just be walking in the forest, and I hear a voice. That voice is usually a piece of fallen tree, root or limb calling out to be found. I help it to be remembered.
