This website is a sampling of some of my artwork, primarily papercuttings and woodcarvings.  Most of my work is inspired by wildlife and nature in some way- whether it is a scene taken from nature outlined and cut into paper, a carving that brings a face to life in a piece of tree bark, or a design following the gentle curves of an eggshell.  Nature is an endless source of fascination, wonder and joy to me, and I hope my work can bring a little of that across to the viewer.
