-The biggest challenge with creating this collection was patience. I am used to creating in the moment with most of my work but for this collection I took extra time to design, plan, and test everything before putting them together. With the excitement of a new idea I usually like to see a piece come together within a few days from the point of inspiration to completion and I will work tirelessly to get there. Instead, this time I allowed myself some breathing room and put each together in multiple phases over the course of several weeks. I’m learning to embrace the slow and steady and enjoying the work it’s producing. For this piece in particular I painstakingly hand carved the waves into the walnut hardwood using a variety of tools.

-For this collection each piece ties into the theme of both the physical and mental mountains we climb throughout life. That is why I chose to give it the name "Ascent". If I've learned anything from countless hiking adventures and life in general, while reaching the summit or achieving our goals feels amazing; the journey and climb along the way is where the true joy and lessons lie.
