Some of these creations are inspired by stories, others the story has yet to be told. Beyond the story is an experience of truth. I express this truth through multiple layers of laser cut wood; painted, stained, stacked, and inlaid with gemstones.

We Rise
March 2020 society began its total transformation. Technology divided and isolated us, moving us inwards to discover our truth. We Rise is inspired by the journey of standing on earth, to build our inner temple. Inside we find our light, and it leads us to our crown. This time of Corona is a challenge to claim our crown in the kingdom of heaven and earth. From the destruction of impurities and outdated beliefs, we can rise stronger than ever, purified by the crucible. Together lets take flight, guided by the only thing left. Truth.
Metamorphosis
Can hear the whispers in the wind? There’s something brewing. Some hear the fabric of society falling apart while we sacrifice our planets radiance for profit. Others hear AI claiming to make your life easier while silently monitoring your every step, creating intolerance, separation and isolation. It’s as if everyday there is something bigger, badder, and louder than the last. Grabbing your attention and filling you with dis-ease.
How can we solve life’s insurmountable problems?
By shifting our focus inside and listening to the whisper.

I hear the reunion of a universal family awakening and remembering how to honor their origins deep within the earth and far into the stars. I hear the sound of sandcastles being swept off into the sea and the creation of chrysalises searching for refuge. I feel the softness in surrendering to Ibu Pertiwi (the Earth Mother) and asking for guidance.
She whispers.. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m here for you. As you walk through me, know that I walk through you. Move with the rhythm of your heart. It is a universal rhythm that guides and connects us all. There is no separation. Let go of the illusion and find your way back home. Home is here and now.” Then silence, stillness.. Nothing left, just the sound of this universal rhythm guiding back to the center. Welcome home. When you’re ready to emerge, remember we are dreamers creating the dream. The reality is we are everything so let’s live a life with honor and reverence for all. This is our Metamorphosis
Rise of the Buffalo
This was created to stand with the people during the standing rock conflict. During the protests thousands of wild Buffalo arrived and lifted their spirits. The Buffalo symbolizes strength, abundance and gratitude. Behind the Buffalo are the wings of union. The Eagle's path of the mind, industrial, and masculine; with the Condor's path of heart, intuition, and of the feminine. The medicine wheel reminds us of the cycles of life that we live. We are all interconnected on this wild ride of existence. One planet, One people, so let us birth dreams for all of the planet.
Communion
Communion creates an opportunity to let go of what you know, release what you think, and allow yourself to feel whatever you feel. It speaks the universal language of geometry and needs no translation to discover the truth of our timeless inter dimensional nature.
