As a sculptor, I create a relationship between reclaimed materials scavenged over time and natural materials such as wood and stone. Preferring elements with a distinctive spirit, I often use materials such as aged lumber, limestone from old churches, or weather-worn tools. The resulting sculptures speak simplicity, boldness, and subtlety to the viewer, and are the reflection of my artistic talent and life experience combined into the mystery of creating. My work highlights the beauty in binding the aged material and the abstract element.
