Wood and stone are very different mediums.
     Wood is very free forming.  I must allow the piece to show me what it wants to be & have the courage to go along with it, even if I'm not sure how to execute the challenge.  Working with wood is a collaborative effort with nature.  I never measure or have a definite idea of the final piece.
     Stone on the other hand is very mathematical, demanding & slow.  It requires a lot of persistence & vision.  It's where I strive for perfection & realism.
     I find a unique balance in working with both mediums.  I believe working in nature's own material creates a tranquil, peaceful work of art.
