about me…

I’m a treasure-hunter!

Not the ocean-sailing, jet-setting kind, I visit yard sales and thrift stores to find hidden gems.

I create kooky characters and miniature scenes using metal and wooden objects collected at thrift stores and garage sales.

Working with just a drill press and hand tools, my goal is to craft quality pieces that last, wherever possible choosing wood and metal parts over plastic, and employing wooden joinery or metal fasteners over adhesives.

Crazy-colourful, funky, fun, or especially, bizarre, are elements I like to incorporate in my art, with the sole goal of eliciting glee. If I can employ physics in the design…well, the bouncier, the better!

I hope my art inspires you to ponder the common objects around you. With a bit of imagination, everyday objects reveal their secret identities!

Hang out with me, by blog or social media, and share your insights and ideas!
