Growing up in the hills of Connecticut I developed a keen appreciation for natural surroundings, and I have tried to capture this element in my work. Combining the natural design of leaves and flowing water I attempt to emulate what I saw in those beautiful hills. As in nature each leaf has its own variation in shape and texture by hand crafting "leaf fossils' in a natural mixture of clay ,granite dust, glass fibers, 2 curatives without any resins .
