Art
is produced when creativity is expressed
utilizing techniques that have been learned and
perfected.
I have worked for over thirty years to develop
the skills
that allow me to create three dimensional
creations out
of a variety of wood and stone.
My earliest work was done in wood, producing
various styles of carvings. I discovered that I
was able to effectively transfer objects and
shapes in nature to wood. Wood remains one of my
favorite media to work with due to its huge
variety of colors, textures and ease of working.
I
have recently added alabaster to the media
that I use, and love the feel and look of the
finished product. The colors and translucency of
alabaster make it a wonderful media for turning
a range of vessels that can be further carved,
shaped and textured to result in one-of-a-kind
creations. The combination of
alabaster stone with wood accents leaves
unlimited opportunity to explore contrasting
colors and textures in a variety of shapes. |
