Horta Circle Tray
This inlay was inspired by a floor design of the famous Art Nouveu architect Victor Horta of Belgium.  The flow of the design seems to spin with the swirl of branches and leaves.  Small grapes are caught up in the swirl creating the illusion of acceleration.

Horta Wall Panel
This Horta inspired design comes from a wall panel.  I like the bold sweeps of shape fighting with each other for attention.  The vector designs moved easily into inlay shapes.  Fitting them into the panel was like a brush stroke even after I assembled the third one. 

Leaves and Flowers
This design grew on me more and more over the months that I perfected it.  The flow of the leaves and flowers sweeps over the surface of the panel.  With so many parts, assembling the inlay takes a long time but the results are satisfying to me. 

Quarti Metal inlay

This design was inspired by the famous Italian Art Nouveau furniture maker Eugenio Quarti.  I was intrigued by his mix of metals inlaid into dark woods.  The geometry of the design  flows around the panel.
