“My work encompasses the collection and utilization of a wide variety of materials. I enjoy using whatever is at hand: salvaged, recycled, new, organic, found objects, paint. Combinations of these may be included at any time. The materials can dictate my direction, or they may simply provide inspiration for new pieces.”
