Growing up on an island in Northern Ontario, chidhood experience and nature has been an integral part of my life. Because of that deep affinity, nature has influenced my art dramatically. As I have a prior background in the visual arts, I am deeply affected by many of the elements of design. Those elements include colour, line, form and surface.

My motivation revolves around my desire to integrate my love of nature with my passion for design. Organic objects are my main source of inspiration and I enjoy the challenge of using inorganic metal as a medium. I create one-of-a-kind and limited-edition pieces as well as select custom work undertaken in my own style. Karat gold, sterling silver and bronze are my current metals of choice and I utilize various fabrication and casting techniques in my work. I also adorn my pieces with stones and pearls.

Metal is often considered a cold, stagnate and mechanical material and I challenge that notion by creating warm and natural sculptural beauty. I reach completion when those natural forms I create seemingly come alive and begin to develop a life of their own.
