My passion is sculpting and I've been pursuing art in one form or another since I was 5 years old.

A Colorado native, I relocated to Washington State in 2002, giving up a successful career as a graphic artist and 3-D animator, in order to devote my life to sculpting full time.

It's always been important that my work portray passion or excessive expression in some way - to impact people on a very personal level. There is so much inside of me that sometimes I feel like I'm going to burst trying to express all that I feel (all that is me). For years, I have felt restrained and quieted and now I've been unleashed and it's just a matter of having enough time to express all that I have that's been bottled up for so long.

Inspiration:

My inspiration is nature, the human figure and spirit; with an underlying theme of transformation and renewal.

I'm primarily a stone sculptor with a great affinity and reverence towards stone. I work mainly in Basalt, granite, & non-traditionally carved stones, I interact with the stones intricacies and timeless qualities, producing spirited sculptures with luminous presence.

In addition to the stone sculptures, I create mechanized sculptures that viewers can become engaged and interact with. These interactive/kinetic, 3-D assemblages incorporate stone, metal, and various collected, reclaimed and found objects.
