I am interested in connections and the way humans and creatures interact with each other, objects and nature. I live in the woods of North Carolina where I enjoy the company of dogs, cats, wild animals and my garden. I live in a cabin hand-built by my grandparents over 80 years ago. The influence and importance of nature and history all around me is apparent in each piece I make.

Most of the materials I use in my papier-mâché sculpture and collage already have a history of their own when I find them. These often familiar pieces of the past request viewers take a more in-depth look at the combined elements.
