Sometimes I begin with a preformed idea and a sketch, but in many cases I let the stone determine what it will become. Using a small clay model as a reference, I employ a wide range of methods to accomplish my vision, from traditional hammer and chisel, to an arsenal of power tools with cutting edge diamond technology.

My approach is often stylized, believing that “less is more” when working with stone to avoid distracting from its inherent beauty. The themes for my work are generally serene, inspired and informed by nature and my love for the outdoors, but with occasional influences from my time in Medicine as well.

Through meticulous design, smoothly polished contours and flowing lines, I aspire to create a visually pleasing and soothing experience for the viewer.
