Tree of Life with Guardians



Mixed Media Art that is evocative of nature and of a more spiritual life, made for seekers of inner power, joy, and authenticity. Its aim is to nourish the soul and expand the intellect.

Artist Statement

I use symbolic organic forms to create visual movement and flux as primary elements to explore nature-centered spiritual themes.

To this end, I use an innovative process involving the unique fusion of woodcarving, metalworking, mixed media coloring and assemblage techniques. The mixed media coloring entails the addition of 20-40 thin, transparent and semitransparent layers of mixed media, metals as repoussèd panels, wire, bead, strip, or crushed, beads and stones. The mixed media includes acrylics, inks, solvent dyes, flame, resins, crushed pigments, metals and marble, gels, mica flakes, waxes and lacquer.  

The resultant piece exists within a sculpted environment that provides a context, acts as a frame, and completes the piece's statement.
