I lived in Hawaii in my 20's and learned how to build hakahaka walls; free standing dry stack rock walls which hold an ancient symbol of protection and strength. 

Making a hakahaka wall required solving a visual and structural problem, patience and time finding the perfect rock to fit the previous rock stacked, and tenacity to see the project through. In this craft, I found creative fire and a way of seeing into things.

 

My work continues to be rooted in a connection to ancient place and practice; an attempt to communicate primordial inner impressions into form.

I experience a sense of raw innocence vibrating at my core- who I am.

I'm the fullest expression of the universe that I can possibly be. To my knowledge, I'm holding nothing back.​
