The forest is full of textures and patterns—from the bark on the trees to needles on branches to everything on the forest floor—all part of a constant cycle that gets turned into soil.

From the artist:

I'm an artist based on Bainbridge Island and work in several mediums. All of my work is inspired by nature—from oil painting to jewelry making to woodworking.

Working with metal is another expression of curiosity and artistic expression. I look for patterns in nature and try to imagine how I can recreate my sense of awe and express my obsession with patterns.
