The work
Sculpture first, then everything it inspires
Prints
The sculptures on paper
Posters of the original sculptures, such as the Tree Spirit and the Joined love couple, plus photographs of Pittsburgh. Many of the photographs and sculptures are available as limited edition prints.
Everyday art
Art for things you use
The illustrations also appear on ceramic ornaments, coasters, stationery, tote bags, pillows and blankets. Ravens and crows, owls, gentleman cats and frogs, and celestial goddesses show up often. These items are produced on demand by print partners in the United States.
The shop
Pick a few pieces
A selection from the Etsy shop. Prices are as listed on Etsy in October 2026 and may change. Etsy sets shipping and tax, and takes payment, when you check out there.
Hometown
Pittsburgh through my lens
Nature and the charm of my hometown are what I keep coming back to. Alongside the sculptures, I photograph the city’s landmarks and its hidden corners.
The photographs are available as prints, tote bags, phone cases and more, so a piece of Pittsburgh can go wherever you do.
About
Every piece tells a story
I’m a self-taught paper mâché sculptor working in Pittsburgh and a member of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Pittsburgh. I have been selling on Etsy since 2007.
My shop is a mix of handcrafted sculpture and visual storytelling. The sculptures are the heart of it, and the prints and products carry the same characters into everyday life.
