Artist Statement:
I have been an artist most of
my entire life beginning in
junior high school. In my
early years, I did many
sketches and paintings that
were realistic subjects.
Eventually I became intrigued
with impressionism and
abstract expressionism which
lead me to create an extensive
series of expressionistic
acrylic paintings and optical
designs.
In college, I majored in art
education and did extensive
studies in fine arts,
psychology and humanities.
After college, I began
traveling the US and
eventually moved to Monterey,
Ca. where I discovered
articles created from redwood
burls. I became fascinated
with the endless array of
natural forms inherent in
redwood driftwood and burls
and I began an entirely new
artistic endeavor.
For over 20 years, I designed
and produced an wide array of
redwood furniture ranging from
coffee tables, dining tables,
bars, chairs, sofas to include
floor fountains, sculptured
lamp stands, bed frames and
many other unique sculptural
products.
Recently I have developed a
new series of contemporary
abstract redwood sculptures
that are visually dramatic
with many subliminal forms
resembling animals or
containing human
characteristics. As the
sculptures are viewed from
different positions, they
change remarkably....
