or over a decade, I have been creating
unique sculptures that capture attention
and engage the imagination through
simple design and kinetic movement.
feeling is heightened by kinetic factors
that accentuate the shared effects of the
environment, as both sculpture and viewer
react to the same force.
My sculptures interpret nature's genius, a
balance of complex function and simplistic
beauty.
I live and work in Seattle. I have owned
and operated a studio since 1995. I studied
Architectural Engineering at the University of
Colorado, but my work primarily developed
through experimentation and instinct.
Inspired by organic forms and sacred
geometry, my pieces are multi-layered and
deconstructed. The underlying mathematical
language can be broken down into numerical
sequences that, when charted, create symbols
that echo their surroundings and streamline
harmoniously into human consciousness.
I incorporate metals and glass into my
sculptures– materials taken from the earth–
and refine them into elegant curves, giving
the feeling of movement in their static rest.
My pieces create a union of ease between
modern design and nature, blending fluidly
with their environment and elements. The
I have enjoyed working with a wide
spectrum of clients including government
public art programs, private developers,
and individuals. In creating site specific
sculptures I have served beside engineers,
architects, project managers, and groups in
all phases of construction. I utilize computer
design programs that interface with industry
standards. This allows me to communicate
clearly and continuously through the
conceptual stage to the coordination of
installation. It would be my pleasure to work
with you.
