How long have you been an artist?
25 years
Artist’s Statement:
I work in wood and stone using mainly abstract imagery. Depending on the material, the work can either be indoors or outdoors. For the past two years I have been making trails on my property. This process has expanded my appreciation of the many forms, compositions, and sculpture imagery that nature provides. The trails will be included as part of the tour.
What is interesting and distinctive about you and your artwork?
Line, composition, dimension, nature, and heart.
Why do you create? What are you passionate about?
It’s the process of being here. Life in general when I am feeling right.
What projects are you currently working on? Any upcoming shows?
The trails, wood, stone pieces, and paintings. Some local shows.
What will your guest see you doing at your studio during the Whidbey Island Open Studio Tour?
I will show them tools, process, and the trails. The piece for sale is called “Almost There.” Using the direct carving process, you get to a place when the piece gives you the message. In this case it was the relationship between the finished carved surfaces and the surfaces revealed in their pure state after the bark was removed. In the image there are two points almost touching hence the title “Almost There.”
