After receiving a special MN State Arts Board grant and arranging a MN Landscape Arboretum exhibition, a new sculptural collection has been created.  Drawing inspiration from nature observations and research, these intricate pieces have many hidden features and meanings to be discovered.  Each has been hand crafted to reflect sacred forest memories and to capture a moment of calm.  

During this stressful time period, respite can be found in nature.  The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum was and is a constant place of wonder and tranquility.  Walking nearly every inch of the grounds has brought so much delight, encouragement and stories to tell.  The worries are washed away for a brief moment and solace is found.   I am so pleased to debut new works at such an appropriate venue.
