I create pieces that emphasize mirrors in nature and highlight and celebrate our similarities rather than our differences.

I create soft sculptures out of sewn twine that evoke organic structures often mimicking lichens, internal organ structures,and corals.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from nature. The colors, the structures and the habits of the natural world. I love playing with colors that are often very high energy and bring them down to a palatable and more muted tone for the home.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the $25,000 back into my landscaping business and my new plant nursery. I would love to grow that business to a point that I could freely create art without the financial stress and concern of making a sale
