The interactive forms and content of this piece represent our two daughters. The shape of the bases, the dark and light woods, the similar profile of the vessels, speak to the Chinese Yin and Yang philosophy that opposite forces can ultimately be seen as interconnected, counterbalancing, and transforming. Daily interactions and choices shape and guide who our daughters are becoming individually and how they will navigate as they find their place in the world. As opposite as their personalities are, they are independent and yet interdependent. Each needs the other for balance and to achieve wholeness. Depending on the day, as the title suggests, You Complete Me - I Can’t Stand You.


I grew up making things with my hands. That early passion for creation continues to guide my art. My background as a cabinetmaker and knowledge of the material are apparent in my work. My inspiration is drawn from my faith, life experiences, family interactions, and the fascination of the high plains surrounding my Wyoming studio. My work resides in public and private collections worldwide including the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Honolulu Museum of Art, Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum of Myrtle Beach, Peabody Essex Museum, American Association of Woodturners, and Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, Wyoming.
