I became involved with the art and design of making paper and finding the awesome handmade and decorative papers made in Asia, I noticed the enchanting glow and luminescence the paper has when back-lit. Creating a cylinder form and adding light to make a beautiful lamp with an engaging presence These lamps add a unique aura in any environment they are placed. I make my own original monotype designs on delicate Asian papers and also uses the beautiful papers made in Japan, Thailand and Nepal.

My inspiration is the art and design of nature; pattern, color, rhythm, movement and the awe inspiring earth and universe we live in.  Using the seeming randomness and exquisite way that everything connects and works together is a personal spiritual connection, and a never ending source of new direction and beauty to enfold into the artwork and these lamps.
