View Our SculpturesThe Vision Behind the Sculpture
“For me, a botanical sculpture is a dialogue between human intention and natural chaos. I use form, line, and texture—principles of sculpture—but my medium is alive. It grows, changes, and tells a new story every day. Each piece is a unique meditation on the relationship between the built and the natural world.”
