“The art I create is informed by a philosophy of ‘less is more’ with an emphasis on shape, line, edges and texture. How I design and make reflects the process and how I see the world. Through intentional manipulation and marriage of my chosen materials, the quality of each is distinguished and together they create a new thing. I want people to wonder at the surprising beauty and simplicity in materials and how someone thought to put them together.”
