Although I have been with Etsy since 2008, I have taken a hiatus from art and creative endeavours for over a year to take care of my father. Sadly, he passed away in February 2016. His guidance, support and talent continue to inspire me. A portion of my sales will be donated every year to St. Joseph's Hospital in Toronto and to Cancer Research. Last year, while escorting him to various doctors and to chemo, I picked up some clay to "keep my hands busy". This year I will be slowly bringing the new sculpture online.
Being a Jack-of-many-Trades means that I am constantly re-imaging my art. I've always had a fascination with natural history and much of my current sculptures are interpretations of insects, birds and animals. Combine that with a geek's love of robots - and I think you will understand the source of my inspiration.
These sculptural insects will make a fine addition to any Curio Cabinet, or they can watch over you as you work. Although toy-like in appearance these are delicate little creations that should be handled with care.
Feel free to ask any questions.
