"Each day as I wander around our garden, I collect small botanical pieces, such as seed pods, dried flowers, empty snail shells, feathers, and more.  These precious finds, with their delicate forms, intricate patterns, and natural tones, decorate my studio space and become a reference for my work.  I am endlessly fascinated by what nature has to offer and with each season comes new discoveries and fresh ideas. The beauty of the natural world will never cease to inspire and amaze me."
