"One need not weep romantic tears for them, but when the last moonshiner buys his radio, and the last, lost-wild rabbit of a girl is civilized with a mail order dress, something will pass that was American, and all the movies will not bring it back."
- Stephen Vincent Benet. . .

My inspiration comes from natural materials, texture, and color. From my desire to challenge the human complacency that lets nature slip away. It's drawn from how things used to be done before machines, mass production, and consumerism got in the way. I think our last wild places and traditions are worth holding on to. I think another world is possible. I admire collaboration. I despise competitive atmospheres. I think artists have the opportunity to enhance, change, beautify, and stir up our communities in ways that are necessary and vital.
