Each piece of artwork that I make addresses some curiosity of geometry. I use a mix of traditional materials and techniques with as much computer-based accuracy as I can get ahold of. Some of my work hangs on the wall, and some of it sits on a pedestal. In either case, I see everything as sculpture in terms of graphic design. (I'm qualified to use that term because I have a degree in it.)

Mixed media sculpture using paints, clays, and materials foraged from the woods of East Tennessee
Using traditional materials alongside sticks, leaves, and fungi found in the woods of East TN, I create sculptures and decor that reflect my taste for whimsy and love of the place I call home. With a particular focus on the weird and fantastical, my works include octopus/snowman hybrids, spindly-armed pumpkins with toothy grins, and wind chimes comprised of all sorts of bits and baubles. My sculptures make great conversation pieces and fit right into "weird Appalachia" aesthetic.
