As an artist I have used a variety of mediums. LEGO as my current medium is challenging and whimsical at the same time. I often think about why? It is really quite a chaotic material to use but at the same time very precise. In a in a pile of chaos can one reach near perfection with something as utilitarian as a box or as with a piece that is purely visual such as a cake topper? Perfection is everywhere and each flaw is a bit of perfection. So when I create, I put the traditional meaning of perfection aside and go with what comes to me, and it is the process of creating beauty and meaning out of these non traditional bits and pieces that moves me

As a carpenter and a teacher, I have always had a thing for woodworking and many of my early box creations are made from pieces of scrap wood. I would work a similar process of creating something from chaos or scraps of what would otherwise be...

As a carpenter and a teacher, I have always had a thing for woodworking and many of my early box creations are made from pieces of scrap wood. I would work a similar process of creating something from chaos or scraps of what would otherwise be thrown away.

I truly enjoy making custom pieces because I am motivated and inspired by others vision. Combining my vision with yours is what I hope to accomplish. I hope my work makes you smile and can feel the energy I plant into each of my pieces.
