Black Walnut

The Black Walnut tree (Juglans nigra) is a large, deciduous hardwood native to North America, particularly the eastern United States. It is renowned for its rich, dark-brown wood, prized for its strength, workability, and pleasant fragrance. The tree produces edible walnuts encased in thick green husks, which are valued for their flavor and nutritional content. Black Walnuts also play an important ecological role, providing food and habitat for wildlife. However, the tree releases a chemical called juglone from its roots and leaves, which can inhibit the growth of certain nearby plants, showcasing a unique natural adaptation.

Constructed from a single piece of Black Walnut, the Windwheel draws inspiration from nature, incorporating elements of wings, feathers, and intricate webs of reductive patterns. The contrasting light and dark tones of the walnut add a layer of complexity, inviting the mind to explore further.

My artwork is more than a visual experience; it’s a meditative journey.

Crafted from carefully selected wood species, each piece reveals the unique patterns of growth and time—its rings, grains, and knots tracing the rhythms of nature itself. Sacred geometry subtly overlays these patterns, bringing out the tree's character and aligning its design with universal patterns.

Embedded magnets harmonize the surrounding energy, grounding the viewer and inviting calm, while soft sounds resonate through the wood, creating an immersive field that quiets the mind and elevates awareness. Together, the wood, magnetism, and sound create a space for introspection and peace, turning the artwork into a vessel for harmony, grounding, and higher consciousness. This is not merely art for the eyes but a sanctuary for the soul, where nature and universal energies converge to bring tranquility and depth to any space.
