is built in part of an old carriage house in my backyard, honoring my Pekingese and muse, Moosh.  I require an environment with a creative current, that I achieved in a recent revamp of my studio.  The mixture of my style of saturated jewel tones in maximalism decor along with strangeness and solitude energizes and inspires me.  After parsing through my process, my work often feels bigger than me and communal with everything - but everything has to be just so or I find myself distracted.  With a renewed commitment to make art, I am enjoying sculpting and hand building, and am currently playing around with new finishes.

I recently retired from a thirty year career in web development.  It was difficult to leave that life behind, but "coding" messages into my work has helped to bridge the gap.
