Ebony is a magical wood that conveys richness and depth. Ebony is the Greek word for "fruit of the gods". Historically drinking goblets were made from its wood, as they believed it was an antidote for poison, and its use would ward off their enemy's evil intent. This may be the origin for many that think today, that a wooden wand made of gaboon ebony has magical powers. There are 100's of types of ebony worldwide, but most are only shrubs, and only one found in North America, the persimmon tree. This species known for it's use in the manufacture of golf clubs. The trees today are few and far between, and of a much smaller size then 20 years ago, found on the Asian, Indian and African continent. They can grow to 50' in height 1.5' around, but you're talking about a tree over 100 years old. The Gaboon Ebony wood can be also referred to as "African Ebony" and does infact come predominately from Africa.

Artists Inspirational Message:
Leonardo Da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Jack Kerouac said, "One day, I will find the right words, and they will be simple." I love texture and touch. My paintings and objects reflect my infatuation with these two characteristics. From the materials I select, to the way I craft each piece; these two remain my focus. I prefer to work with organic pigments, plasters, glazes, and substrate. When the origins of these materials are organic, the appearance of the paintings evokes the essential quality of nature. Embedded in the reference to nature is the obvious juxtaposition of the inherent force, beauty, serenity,and silence.
