Artists Registry

I have never felt that an artist could improve on nature, but I have always tried to interpret, through my work, how nature presents itself to me. I consider myself an abstract naturalist artist. Simple things like tree roots, the way water washes over rocks, or the color of autumn leaves, give me ideas for my work.

Once I have the mental image of an idea I can begin working to capture the varied elements of nature's design. Most of my sculpture materials are found in the environment. All types of wood, branches and roots are incorporated in my work. Clay, that is pit or barrel fired, is another major component of my work. I am also raku firing some of my newer pieces. Recently, I have begun to use glass to provide color. I am always looking for new materials that will bring another dimension to my work.
