My Artistic Journey
I live and make art in Fort Collins, Colorado. I'm passionate about craftsmanship, and my art centers around laser-cut birch plywood. My process involves layering relief-cut plywood, which brings my digital designs to life.
Creativity & Innovation
I use the interplay of layers, depth, light, and shadow to invite you into a world of hidden meaning and inspiration. Explore my complete artistic process.
Inspiration
I draw inspiration from natural and architectural marvels found across the globe. My work embodies a fusion of these influences, as the curves and forms present in the world's landscapes and structures guide my artistic vision, which I channel into each creation.

FRENCH CLEATS
What is a French cleat?
A French cleat is a simple but effective hanging system consisting of two interlocking brackets. One bracket is mounted to the wall, and the other is attached to the back of the item you want to hang.
How do I install a French cleat?
Installing a French cleat involves mounting the wall bracket securely to the wall with tapered head screws. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket and not protruding past the wood face. I build the other bracket directly into the piece. To hang, you will interlock the two brackets, creating a strong connection.
How strong are French cleats?
French cleats are incredibly strong when installed correctly. They provide a secure and sturdy connection, making them ideal for heavy items.
Can I adjust the item once it's hung?
With a traditional french cleat, you can adjust the horizontal placement of a piece by sliding it to the left or right on the wall bracket. With my custom circular french cleat, you can adjust the rotation of the piece. It does not slide side-to-side.

Need help getting set up?
Schedule a 30-minute virtual or phone call for setup assistance and maintenance advice. Fill out this form to get the conversation started.
What about placement?
Ideally, the projector should be mounted about 10-feet away from the artwork and aligned with the very top of the piece for a slight downward angle to the projection. The artwork itself should be installed securely on a wall.
