I find inspiration and balance walking in the woods or by the ocean, looking closely at the beautiful forms created by natural processes. I often take things home from these walks, and people often bring me gifts from nature. I incorporate these with scraps of wood leftover from projects in sculptural collages, and compostable material from the kitchen! Working with these materials brings a sense of connection to the cycles of nature, creation and decay, and spirit of transformation.
