Artist's Comments

The inspiration and unifying theme of all my work is force.

I am drawn to and inspired by the tremendous beauty and power of the landscape that surrounds me - mountains, rivers, lakes. At the same time, I am also in awe of the force (God) that created such strength and beauty; a resident force that continues to resonate even after its completion.

Through form and materials, I work to convey a natural balance of power and beauty in a style that is suited to the material as well as the creator.
