Daydreams and Designs
For me, art isn't just about the physical work - it is about the ideas and stories that are behind it. My life is dedicated to allowing my daydreams to take over, bringing as many of them as I can into the world.
Behind the Dreams
I am a sculptor and fabricator living in Old Fort North Carolina, and a graduate of UNCA with a concentration in sculpture. While I have worked with many mediums, my current materials of choice are steel and handmade paper. Much of my work is a form of storytelling - bringing myth and folklore into the visual world. Much of my inspiration comes from the natural world, and the ways we strive to understand our place in it.
I greatly enjoy custom work, as I believe that the melding of minds and ideas is the most important aspect of art. I am always willing to discuss projects, and will do my best to make your dreams a reality, as they blend with my own.
While much of my work is purely aesthetic, I do enjoy making functional pieces, and fixing things that would often be thrown away.
Where To Find Me
My art can be found at the River Arts District in Asheville NC. I share a gallery with Stephen Lange in the Phil Mechanic Studio and Gallery
I try to participate in three art shows a year. I will update them as applications are approved. The list so far:
Herb Fest at Painters Greenhouse (Saturday April 20th)
The Spring Lake Lure Arts and Craft Show (Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of May)
Contact
If you want to make a custom order, check the availability of a piece, or have any questions, don't be afraid to reach out! I will be able to respond more quickly to texts as I have spotty internet at home. Please don't call - I don't answer unknown numbers.
