CREATING IS A PRIVILEGE

ABOUT THE ARTIST

The Labor of creating a piece galvanizes it with a purpose, and the life history of every tree will continue to live in our homes as a unique piece of furniture. Each wood that I select has a vital connection to our environment and I seek out those with a distinct personality chosen from the best locally grown hardwoods*. Once my hands have left the work, it inspires me even more to see it “move along” in life; making room for the next creation I will begin. My skill is a gift that I’ve been given and I take great pride in sharing what I have with others.

* Each wood is harvested with sustainable, environmentally responsible practices.

I came upon woodworking quite by accident. One spring in Ohio, we learned that a maple tree would not make it through the winter. My respect for the tree and the years it had stood inspired me. I came up with a very rudimentary design of a ladder back chair out of the branches.

The challenge and reward ignited a passion for wood craft. Thru study and the help of family, I was introduced to masters such as Sam Maloof and James Krenov, and the journey to bring life to my own designs begun. Never would my father-in-law, Craig, have imagined that I would adventure so far down the furniture making road that he started me on.
