Artist Biography

I've worked with wood and trees my entire life, but I've found that turning and sculpting get to the essence of what I truly enjoy about creating objects from wood.The limitations are pared down to what the structural limits of the material and my imagination.

Much of my work begins on the lathe, and is often finished there, although carving and sculpting beyond the turning is what I really find exciting.

I use both power and hand tools in my work: from chain saw, grinders, carvers, rasps, rifflers, gouges on to sandpaper. I am self taught and all work is done by me alone. Most of the wood I use is local and comes from storm damaged trees and trees that are cut down due to old age, development, etc.
