"Inspiration for this piece came from viewing the Body Worlds 3 exhibit. The larger shape I sketched from a brain slice sample. The image came back in a dream in full color in which I added the eyes of the soul, a cell pattern and another window of opportunity to view the sky from."

"This is the first framed wings piece I did around 2005 when my love affair with Fantasy Film began. I love combining nature with artificial materials!"

"In constructing this piece, I was inspired by both Victorian precious art and the grotesque art of El Bosco. My challenge was to find an image in his work which I could depict in a 'pretty' manner. This piece is cold finished--treated, then painted with acrylic paints."

"Sometimes I find life difficult, and so I carry mantras in my head to repeat over and over. The mantra carved into the bottom of this states, 'Alive upon this wonderous world, I sing, I dance, I pray.' This red and blue pot has three figures in it."

"This bowl, constructed from a slab, has already been called into service!"
