- Describe your style of art and materials you like to use?
- My passion, as a custom modern furniture designer/maker, is combining art and function. My two loves are the juxtaposition of complementary and contrasting elements, materials and ideas & the collaboration with others.
The skills and insights I gained from training in sculpture and furniture making, in addition to my continuing study of modern art, design and furniture provide the foundation for my work.
I employ a multi-dimensional layering of ideas and a diverse material palette. Included are natural & man-made, traditional (metal, stone, glass, wood, plastic, etc) & new, found objects and a substantial catalog of sustainable (green) products to create my unique, heirloom quality furniture. I delight in mixing it up!

A Poem
Had I the Heavens' embroidered cloths
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light -
I would spread those cloths under your feet.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams.
I have spread my dreams under your feet -
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
(by W. B. Yeats - "brother of the more famous Jack")

New Banksy in North London
A new banksy stencil appeared in North London- this one of a child (Asian laborer?) sewing a cheap string of Union Jacks.
Mona Lisa painted later than thought
DaVinci's painting has long been dated 1503-6, but those dates will now be formally altered to 1503-19, according to the Louvre.
Wigged Out!
Andy Warhol’s “Self Portrait (Fright Wig),” painted in 1986, sold for almost $8.5 million at an auction of items from billionaire Gunter Sachs’ collection. The price was more than double the painting’s pre-sale estimate.
