Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
This work is driven by a deep personal interest in the science of stones, rocks, geologic process and the shaping of the physical earth.

A stone worn smooth by the tides can be soothing to the soul as well as the hand.
Spirituality dwells in the very act of making. If one is open to it, each part of the creative process can be a step in the long inner journey towards transcendence. Repetitive action becomes meditation; each piece becomes a prayer. This work is a reflection of my own inner journey, a consecration of both the mundane and profound, and my search for transcendence.
