I'm drawn towards nature but also towards technology. This dichotomy inspires my art to model shapes found in nature - curves, edges, and sharp corners - in wood, plastic, metal, and other natural and non-natural materials.
I work in sculpture, ink, paint, photography, and digital arts.
Please enjoy these works.
