"I prefer to work in a relatively small scale, enjoying
intricate detail and well-balanced shapes. I am interested in
creating pieces that people will interact with, such as vases
that hold flowers, oil candles, and boxes with lids to open. I
make miniature treasure chests with a surprise detail hidden inside.
Exotic or unusual woods, burls, and Banksia pods are my materials
of choice. Often my pieces are decorated with gemstones, mirrors,
or gold leaf. Occasionally I will leave some of the natural exterior
of a burl or pod intact, delighting in the contrast between that
rough texture and my highly polished turned work."
