I comb the beaches of the Pacific Northwest, and when I find a rock that makes me gasp, I listen to it. Rocks tell me about the distances they’ve traveled, the immense pressure they’ve been under, the breakups they’ve experienced, the violent explosions that rearranged their very core, and the friction that helped smooth their edges. Sometimes when I’m lucky, rocks will tell me who they are, and when that happens, I use lapidary tools to help excavate their essential being.

I get a thrill when someone looking at one of these rocks feels a spark of recognition. This connection is a reminder that we are all terrestrial beings, shaped by and inextricably connected to the physical world around us.

Some of my sculptures are on display at the Driftwood Art Collective in Manzanita, Oregon, and at occasional craft fairs such as Best of the Northwest in Seattle, Washington.
