Mysterious creatures/objects such as magic mushroom and jellyfish, gravity, Illusions and Waves are recurring themes in my work. Bright, fun, and unusual subjects attract and inspire me to work in new directions. But I also want my artwork to be about myself, like a diary. Each piece is created with the care one would use writing a letter to a loved one or friend. I make art that is natural, playful and lifts people’s spirits.

I can talk about life and the energetic atoms inside my work with my tiny wood slices. By using wood mosaic I can show the life and energy. Look closely and see the vibrancy and movements of the wood patterns.

The details of the work and mosaic technique slowly emerge when the viewer comes closer. When seen from a distance, my artwork looks like a painting. The life of a tree and the energy in each grain of wood are why I use wood. Wood is an important component in my art. The combinations of natural and oil-stained grains create interesting shadows and impressions. The variety of wood grain is very beautiful and the pattern is never the same. I like to incorporate the patterns in the wood and enhance them with oil-stain. My artwork is hand-made of thousands of very small slices of natural and oil-dyed wood-cut pieces on board.
