Originally trained as an architect, my design process always began with tiny concept models. My architecturally inspired artwork goes back full circle. I now build miniature vignettes in metal and found objects. As I will always be an architect at heart, my art is heavily influenced by built environment…just miniaturized.

​

Extensive research of classic and iconic spaces inspires my one-of-a-kind miniature rooms or vignettes, a contrast in styles, industrial converging with classic old-world designs. Combining styles and scales overlap in many settings from modern to traditional. I also use fragments of architectural salvage, bicycle parts, copper sheet, mesh and rivets, mirror, aluminum, my handmade miniature paper books, and miniature glasses and bottles.
