My work is handmade in the simplest sense of the word. From the early stages of the storytelling process drawing and writing ideas in sketchbooks, even on napkins if need be, I love to create with multimedia which allows the material to be shared instantly and then constantly evolve.

In this electronic form of communication the narrative can always be built in new directions by editing and refining the words and pictures. It changes through time like when you walk a familiar trail's ecosystem of meandering paths and winding streams, but sunlight is cast differently from transitional weather, a tree fell because of a storm, or in the spring cottonwood fluff falls like snow... and it's a joy to see how the themes of the stories intertwine synergistically to reinforce each other.
