ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a NW Wisconsin artist based in the Springbrook area. I carve, draw and paint
on collected driftwood from Lake Superior, found wood, or on lumber. The
subjects are birds, coyotes, foxes, or wolves and some pieces include a proverb or
word that comes to mind or an image of a star or heart. Sometimes the animal’s
skeleton is partially exposed. In my mind, these are objects that represent a
spiritual homage to the animal.
My goal is to make carvings that are beautiful, honor the animal spirit and be a
unique Northwoods folk art object. I greatly enjoy combining draftsmanship and
wood carving.
