Philosophy

Using the fundamental concepts of the traditional Japanese Garden, and utilizing the elements of stone and boulders, water, plants, concrete and space, I aspire to create a space that is not only beautiful to the eye, but touches something much deeper within.

In that space, we escape the busy life and find a much deeper meaning to our lives.
