I lived in Hawaii in my 20's and learned how to build free standing dry stack rock walls, known as hakahaka walls, which held an ancient symbol of protection and strength. 

Making a hakahaka wall required solving a visual and structural problem, patience and time finding the perfect rock to fit the previous rock stacked, and tenacity to see the project through. In this craft, I found creative fire and a way of seeing into things.

 

My work continues to be rooted in a connection to ancient place and practice; an attempt to communicate primordial inner impressions into form.

There's a sense of raw innocence vibrating at my core- who I am.

I'm the fullest expression of the universe that I can possibly be. To my knowledge, I'm holding nothing back.​
