Lollipop Tree
Artist statement/Inherent Themes: - Look Up to locate yourself. The wider horizon is our source and destination. - The Calligraphy of bird wings gliding overhead. Information comes from connected observation. - Our relationship with Nature informs our Inspiration. I live on a river in Lyons, Colorado and make my artworks there. I am inspired by the movements of Nature, the wind and water and the interaction of the viewer. My work often finds its way to urban display sites. My work is friendly, connecting, optimistic and about this important moment. I have been creating kinetic wind activated artworks for many years. They are durable and long lived. They come alive.
