As a child, I was ever curious about art and design, both man-made and in nature. 

To my way of thinking, everything in the world no matter how complex is always made up of simple structures.  Part of what defines art for me was always the challenge of simplicity in design as well as construction. 

Building art simply, I used  few and the most basic  tools, which allowed me to form a connection and listen to, the materials I worked with. Art became a conversation. 

​

The conversation continues...

My shop was very basic. No big equipment, no AC, no heat and just a gravel floor. During the summer I worked at night to avoid the heat and during the winter...well during the winter I froze. It was simple, quiet, just a few basic tools, me and my constant work partner, Presley.
