I am a true environmental artist.  I recycle discarded tree limbs & branches and transform them into contemporary, powerful figurative art.

{Did you know that 40 million tons of municipal green waste-tree trimmings, grass clippings – end up in our California landfills every year?}

While a gardener can give trees a healthy present life, I try to give them a productive and beautiful afterlife.  My pieces are all influenced by the natural patterns, colors and structures produced by Mother Nature.

My materials materials are exclusively discarded municipal tree trimmings that are destined for the dump, as well as driftwood from the beach.

Each branch that I use has a unique, subtle curve, much like the individual brush strokes in a painting.  When I put enough of them together in just the right positions, I re-create the sticks into a sculpture that I hope is alive, arousing and provocative.

My artwork and the medium I use expresses deeply my personal belief in the divinity of art and nature, and the inseparable relationship between the two.

“The artistic soul thrives in the never-ending inspiration that is nature.
