Artist Statement I am a country boy. I live on eleven acres in the Cascade Mountains and the view from my studio includes, rock cliffs, open fields and miles of deep forest. My art work constantly reflects the events in my life. The joys of my grandchildren, the grief of death and separation, and the celebration of the gift of having my eyes wide open. I love the multifaceted character of wood, the inherent nature of a unique grain in every piece and the ability of wood to be as smooth as river rocks or as abrasive as hog's hair. Metal elements are toys to me. They are jigsaw puzzles of eclectic shapes and textures, begging to be married into understandable form. Intertwining the two elements is the joy of watching how a little god given inspiration, driven by tons of passion, can connect emotionally to others.
