This site will give you some examples
of the sorts of pieces that I generally
make--though I am always creating
new designs. If you are interested in
purchasing work online, please visit my
etsy shop. If you can't find exactly
what you're looking for there
let me know--I always have items
in stock but not yet listed. I'm also
happy to discuss custom work. If you
are in Austin, my work is available in
select shops around town, or feel free
to contact me and arrange a time to
meet personally.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I’m especially drawn to materials that

are decidedly not precious--things that

some might even consider to be trash.

In this vein, my current work is primarily

concerned with re-purposing decorative

tin containers. I like to use the term

upcycling. Finding the tins and then

selecting the most intriguing areas to

work with is, in many ways, a holdover

from my graphic design training.

Somehow, I find it both comforting and

challenging to work with found imagery.


The variety within the raw material is

almost limitless, so I have focused

largely on the circle as a unifying theme.

As I grow in the work, I am also exploring

different shapes and more complex

constructions. It is by far the most

engaging work I've ever done. I can't wait

to see where it will next take me.
