For me the thing that motivates the work has always been the desire to most closely approximate natural beauty; whether the beauty of utility in an organic cup, or the pulchritudinous nature of the human form.

The organic is my fundamental teacher.  I find much of my inspiration from elements of the natural world: the subtle nuances of a seed pod, the dendritic patterning in leaves, the supple quality of eucalyptus bark, the way flesh folds.
