I examine nature through sculpture, drawing and photography. Recent scientific research indicates that forest bathing or even simply seeing nature, benefits human health by lowering blood pressure and anxiety, increasing empathy for others and freeing the subconscious to solve problems. Of specific interest to me are trees which I imagine have many human characteristics. I want my works to entice people to explore their local parks and forests, to walk among trees to relax. From a tree root, I can envision the trees full life, a history of place, a record of time.
