~Each piece of driftwood I find on the beach holds a secret story. Where the tree the driftwood came from once grew, how it fell, how long its bits and branches have been turning over in the ocean’s waves are all untold.
When I sculpt and carve with the wood I try to image its history and to work with the contours of the wood that have already been shaped by nature and time. I strive to bring it’s story to life.~

Spirit Tree is 21 inches tall. She is made from roots, (securely placed) stones, and a piece of driftwood that has a almost ghostly white-washed colour. This gives her a somewhat celestial appearance. She seems very peaceful and lifelike as though she is thinking about something.
