Matthews, NC
My home/studio is located in beautiful, Matthews, NC, USA
I was born in Pennsylvania to a family filled with artists of varied disciplines.
For me the art I create is an ever evolving, very physical, and a deeply meditative process.
I try to say in wood what I fall short of expressing in words. I use my tools in a way as to let the dark glue between the layers stand out and flow. I layer the plywood and carve deeply going all the way through in places, adding color to enhance the natural flow.
I carve with power tools and carving knives to create free standing sculpture, carved wall hangings, paintings with carved texture and jewelry. Another facet of my process is adding cording: macramé, embroidery, crocheting and vintage objects. Each addition to my mixed media is a very thoughtful process. My background in painting murals and faux finishing, also the concentration of years of figurative and abstract work, has given me the experience to use many disciplines for expression.
