My solo exhibition, Garden REtreat, opens February 7th at the Metro Gallery in Reno. Artist reception is Friday, February 11th 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

My art making often involves repetitive tasks. Repeating the same action over and over again, hundreds of times, is very calming. It soothes me. It gives me a place to go where I can be quiet, be still.

Phase One of my installation at the Falkirk Cultural Center in display from July to October in downtown San Rafael is complete. More to come.

Floral Family is currently installed at the San Rafael Public Library and will be on display through the end of October.

The weekend weather forecast in Fort Bragg is sunny and warm! A perfect day to attend the Summer of Arts Preview at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Enjoy an afternoon of art in action: garden art, winemaking, brewing, and music. Meet some of the artists during the grand opening of the 2010 Sculpture Gallery.

Spring is here! And bottle cap flowers are popping up all over. Add a vibrant splash of color and a unique shape to any room.

Bottle cap flowers are blooming at American Steel Studios in West Oakland.

Flower Spiral, originally created for Phish Festival 8 in Indio, CA in October 2009, is made almost entirely of recycled materials and found objects. This plant-like sculpture symbolizes growth and rebirth, giving a new purpose and life to what was previously discarded.

Formed from the ruins of rejection and abandonment, Lily is full of hope and represents the potential for renewal and rebirth.

Spinning Sun Flower is the latest in a series of flower sculptures made from recycled materials. The base is an old stool stand. Other materials include remnant steel, bottle caps and found metal objects.

I recently installed Torso in a private garden and it looks beautiful.
