              My Artwork is an extension of most living creatures need for a safe and secure environment too call home. Across the animal kingdom it is common to find dens, boroughs and any number of nesting phenomena. My artwork captures this oddity by providing abodes which are organic in appearance, fully functional, durable and aesthetically pleasing. While these items are sculpturally formal they are 100 percent user friendly and the result is a living art form. Each piece is created with the sole intent for animal interaction and viewing pleasure.
