Olive Woods

Inspired by the delicafe forms of buds, seeds, and plant fragments, this series reflects the quiet strength of plants pressing toward bloom. Each sculpture is grounded in live edge olive wood - revered in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Fallen fragments in some works evoke the ongoing cycle of life and a story of perseverance in every seed’s journey.
