Purveyor of Intersting Things
I've surrounded myself with wonderful and unusual pieces, some that stand alone on their own merit and some with potential for arresting sculptures and jewelry. There is a love for holding that special item in my hand, and now I would like to share these wonderful and interesting things with you.
Many of my artist pieces are interactive and to be explored layer by layer. Peeling back each one to expose the truth, the hidden secrets, the other worlds. There is always more. More to be discovered, more to be uncovered more to be revealed, more Interesting Things to be found, to be planned over, to be enjoyed.
Not unlike a Japanese okimono in its tokonoma, (an ornament of adoration for display in its alcove), there is always something here to sooth or excite upon viewing, whether it is a fascinating and wonderful antique treasure, a sculpture to explore, a piece of wearable art or parts to make the whole.
May your discoveries always delight you!
