For many years, I worked in acrylics, pencil, watercolor, and other mediums. Then, what began as an ink drawing led me to ask, "Can I build this in 3 dimensions?" This question shifted the direction of my work and opened up new possibilities.
My process starts with drawings that inspire me to move into sculptures and structures, primarily crafted from wood, metal, and mixed materials. I cut, bend, plane, and assemble wood, often incorporating acrylic paint, metal, and wire to transform the materials and uncover new potentials.
My subject matter is inspired by observation of the environment, and by music, literature, and other art forms. I concentrate on movement, rhythm, and the dynamic energy found in the world around me — from the flight of birds to the bending of trees.
I visualize shapes intuitively and embrace challenges as chances for innovation. Each sculpture is a deliberate exploration of form, material, and space, inviting viewers to engage with the imagination, craftsmanship, and tactile qualities embodied in the work.
