Most of the sculptures and installations are assembled mixed media, with scavenged junk and trash often appropriated. New items are added occasionally, but rust, decay, and natural patinas are usually emphasized. Time and process are apparent in the work. Naturally textured and patinaed surfaces tend to give the work a visual rawness, or sometimes a sense of crudeness. By contrast, a sense of sophistication is diplayed through the application of contemporary concepts.

In the most recent series Polystyrene City, pieces of weathered polystyrene foam are combined to create fragile and mysterious architectural type compositions. A city of over twenty structures currently exist, and includes the hanging constructions of the Cliff Dwellers.

In the 2005 Totem series, found wooden household items were assembled and singed with a torch for a consistent blackened surface; in the 2003 Goddess Tribute series, symbols and patterns were burned onto natural wood forms for a ritualistic effect. In the Palm Springs Museum installation, Gardens of Exchange, 2009, recycled shredded paper was used in the making a twelve foot tree, and in creating a dream-like, interactive environment.

The Mojave desert's quiet open spaces inspire the work both thematically and formally, while the harsh natural elements of wind and heat, contribute to the process. Other topics that have continually inspired my work are altars of worship, mosaics, body decoration, ancient and contemporary symbols, and architectural ruins.
