My inspiration often comes from forms and textures I find in nature, a falling leaf, the curl of a crashing wave, the sweep of an owl’s wings, or unique inclusions in a stone. Muse in mind, I immerse myself in design and hand fabrication of my metal, working towards achieving a suggestion of place while giving the piece a feeling of movement and balance, creating a sense of wonder.  My desire is to make a piece that echos the fleeting moment that sparked my imagination.
