Creative Inspiration

 When I use cairns I think of that day on the beach of Lake Superior  stacking stones with my son.

The cairns are special to me, but they also add subtle-yet intricate- details to each lamp. 

This Beech tree in Croatia inspired the idea of lamp bases "growing over rocks “

Many of my pieces incorporate this idea of "growing over rocks" and it adds an extra layer of life each time.

 I like to think of an ancient tree growing in a difficult place - against all odds...out of the earth - reaching for light. 

This theme can be found in many of my lamp designs. 

A sculpture I saw in the Netherlands inspired some lamp details I call interruptions.

I added this detail to a series of lamps entitled "Travel More"
