The concepts of nature are repeated throughout all things; the paths of life are rather like the growing habit of trees. Depending on the environment, damages taken, nourishment gained and light obtained, both life and wood are shaped.

As with all of my art, staffs take on a life of their own. Starting as a young tree or piece of driftwood the staff is cut to length and carefully paired with its elements. The peice shows what it needs. A crystal peice here or a metal element there; perhaps a dragon’s head or the antler of a stag. Colors and textures are carefully stacked together to create each unique piece: and as unique as the person who ultimately chooses it.
