Reconnect with Nature
Being outside in environments like forests has always instilled in me a sense of wonder and curiosity. Taking the time to observe its patterns, textures and shapes gives me a sense of rootedness that can be challenging to find in a busy city life. Being an artistic child and having an inclination for sculpting, it’s no surprise that my favourite subjects were always animals and fauna.
After a corporate career in IT, I started craving that quiet simplicity again. Going back to working with my hands has made me realize that individual natural objects can be like talismans and act as reminders for us to slow down. The connection we establish with them leaves a lasting impression that transfers to the relationships we have with people around us. They help us recognize what is important and gives us the confidence to put our best foot forward.
The wonders of nature is the inspiration for my pieces. The desire to keep nature’s mementos close at hand and capture that feeling is what drives me to instill that essence in to my pieces.
