Picking up the Pieces

"I am an Iowa artisan working by day in new home construction and remodeling. My job sites are filled with a myriad of common, yet unusual materials that continually spark my imagination and wiggle their way into my fine art works. Designing and building homes captures a desire for large scale creativity; the ever-flowing variety of construction waste products captivates a bold approach. My two creative disciplines are intertwined, and I have found that I can barely do one without the other.

Walking the sites is a part of my process. I regularly scavenge through the tossed materials to discover unused treasures which frequently become my next inspirational launching pad. I have generated a collection of random pieces of raw wood, beams, stone, tile, paper, plastic, and metals that I can process with abandon because I know there will always be more discarded. Home building requires a subtle elegance and simplicity in product selection, textures, and colors as well as precision in execution and craftsmanship. Due to these limitations, my artistry tends to run in the opposite direction with bold colors, wild shapes and intentional imperfections.

Foil, Painting and mixed media work of all sizes is my sketchbook of sorts as I continually prepare for larger scale works yet to come. Puzzles, mosaics, and collage remain an influence in all my works.  Pre-planning is confining, but necessary. Exploration is glorious and where my work comes alive!"
