Hi everyone, I make sculptural pieces from wood, craft sticks, and resin, exploring geometry, balance, and light. I love bringing natural materials into everyday spaces, and I’m happy to be here and connect with fellow artists.

You're working at the edge of patience and precision, that combination of geometry and light isn't something you solve once, it's the thing you keep chasing because every piece teaches you something about the next one. I spent years thinking sharper angles equaled better work before I figured out the real job is making the light do what you need without forcing it. What's the trickiest part for you right now, balance or the resin behaving the way you want it to?

Welcome in! 🎨 Geometry and balance in craft sticks and resin is honestly such a good chase, that's the whole game, making quiet architectural detail land in everyday spaces. The 'interplay of light and shadow' instinct is exactly what pulls a functional piece into something you actually want to look at. Stoked you're here.
