Artist Statement
I aim to explore and express, powerful, graceful, and dynamic forms and forces through highly sculptural furniture, and lighting. The vision and mission of the studio is the design and fabrication of iconic handcrafted, bespoke, furniture, and lighting, with daring forms and unique material experimentation across multiple mediums.
An artist must see beyond ordinary conventional reality. Art is seeking, exploring, extracting, and expressing the essence of existence and its sublime beauty. I am drawn to creating handmade, sculpturally evocative forms utilizing natural materials that express dynamic movement and forces.”
I am particularly interested in exploring the ways in which nature can reflect and amplify our own spiritual journey. Through my work, I hope to create an opportunity for contemplation and reflection, allowing viewers to connect with their own inner landscape and find meaning in the world around them.
Ultimately, my goal is to create art that speaks to the deepest parts of ourselves, inviting viewers to connect with their own inner sense of beauty, power, and purpose.
