Maple Platter 30 Sculpture

I work with locally sourced materials to create sculpted objects, functional pieces and designed environments. My work bridges the gap between art and functionality and is not easily classified. While the work itself is constantly evolving, I strive to honour the material’s origins in each piece. I have a deep respect for, and connection to, the Pacific Northwest. My body of work is founded on a reflection of place, place as in the physical environment but also as an experience within that environment. It is my interpretation of the natural world that drives me to create pieces that express the stories that surround us. Every piece I design begins with a story; whether it is something I have experienced or something that is more universal. My hope is to capture people’s attention and ignite an emotional and tangible connection to their surroundings.
