Each terrarium is one-of-a-kind and is created in conjunction with the client (i.e., the shape of the terrarium, the plants, etc.). I think "bespoke" is the best way to describe the terrariums. "Bespoke" (a term of British derivation) means custom-made and originally referred to men's custom-tailored clothing. Essentially, "bespoke" connotes the level of customization and client involvement in the creation of the terrarium.

​

Aside from custom-made glass cubes, I was not able to find vessels I liked for my plantings. So, I decided to create my own hand blown shapes. I have always admired artists Anish Kapoor, and Dale Chihuly who work with organic and biomorphic shapes. I am inspired by shapes found in nature such as gourds, pebbles, mushrooms, fungi, legumes, and beans.

​

I hope to provide the truest representation of nature using the Taoist principles of proportion and scale... staying true to elements that one would find in nature. These miniature landscapes are enhanced within complementary containers.

More like miniature landscape design, I hope you enjoy these self-contained environments. Each represents a place you have seen or somewhere you have yet to visit, either the floor of a forest in the northwest, a Zen garden in Japan, a South American tropical rain forest, or a wetland bog.
