Artist's Statement "... I design objects in a wide variety of media. Some of my designs are inspired by classical art from other cultures, and some are purely from my own imagination. Using materials such as canvas, bronze, silver, and painted wood I am able to generate designs which are both decorative and functional. the subjects and motifs are largely derived from the native flora and fauna of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I seek to document and explore the diversity of wildlife and to increase the awareness of my viewers. By creating functional objects like Floorcloths and jewelry I hope to enhance the lives of my audience on a daily basis."
