The world around us provides inspiration.  I try to actually look at and remember what my eyes see.  The task then it to translate the image to a tangible work that can be held in one’s hands.  Reproducing that image can be a monumental undertaking.  When the result is successful, it brings me closer to the beauty that surrounds us.  This is one source of inspiration for me.  I look also to my emotions and express in my work the feelings that come to me in the course of designing each piece.  Since the true emotion of the moment is sometimes hidden, the design of a piece may take months to develop.  Others spring out in final form.  Of course, when dealing with a living medium such as wood, consideration must be given to the physical properties of each species and the intended use.  This requirement influences the design and the creative process. Lastly, I have been known for an impish sense of humor and have at times embodied this trait in some my work.  Whether this is successful, I leave to you to judge.
