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 plastic, metal, and other non-natural materials.
I work in sculpture, ink, paint, photography, and digital arts.
Please enjoy these works.

I majored in art in college but then followed different paths, working in information technology, emergency medicine, and search and rescue. After a long hiatus from art I started creating sculpture again about twenty years ago.
