My lifelong affinity for trees and love of nature inspire most of my sculpted subjects. As human encroachment and climate change displace flora and fauna, art serves as a way of giving voice to nature. When I sculpt birds or animals of any kind, I strive to capture some aspect of that creature’s character—an action, a stillness, an anticipation, a celebration of life—rather than recreating the details of physical anatomy. Wood sculpture is a tactile art. The finished product invites one to touch it and not just remain an observer.
