About me . . . . . . . . . . .

For most of my professional life I was a landscape planner. Working mostly in wood, I designed decks that stepped down like cascading pools, screens that played with texture, and railings that flowed as they wrapped around corners. But when it came to gates, I began to work in steel. Sketching designs onto plates of steel, I turned to the forms that I understood; leaves, branches, and flowers. Seeing the diversity of life, I imagined greater diversity still. My forms may have an element of familiarity, but they are meant to touch the edge of our imaginations; a touch of the exotic rather than the common place.
