My training in ceramics, woodworking and metals gave me the skill set to explore the unexpected in my art and identify as a craft-influenced sculptor. As a proud native of the Pacific Northwest, I try to use found or reclaimed materials whenever possible, leaving less of a footprint on the earth. The mark of the hand is important to me, and I believe it creates more meaningful art for those who live with it every day.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Reclaimed wood is the main material used for my sculptures. Sometimes a drawing is what dictates the forms, and other times it's born from the piece of wood itself. I have more recently been experimenting with laser cut metal bird forms, which start with a hand-cut silhouette.
