I create fine woodworking from the Arts and Crafts movement, with a slant toward Asian influence.\u00a0 Being creative in my woodworking designs and a day in the workshop is a relief from the exasperating world.\u00a0 It always puts me in my \u201chappy space.\u201d\u00a0 For me, expressing my craft in smooth flowing designs with the natural beauty and character of the wood is a key choice in my work.\u00a0 My projects are made to be touched and will bring warmth into your home.<\/p>\n

After learning woodworking skills at Western Kentucky University, I have continued to hone my interest in fine woodworking from the nostalgic American Bungalow and Craftsman Movement era.\u00a0 Construction details are an important visual part of my designs, yet the free-flowing lines of the Asian style can be found in most of my work.\u00a0 My prevailing influence are the Greene & Greene Brothers\u2019 Californian Bungalows, and also George Nakmashima, who brought softness to the Craftsman Styles of craftsmen such as the Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright and William Morris.\u00a0 I feel that the uniqueness of the material used should influence the character of my projects.<\/p>\n

My work includes boxes, furniture, lamps, clocks and collaborations with other artists\u2019 media such as ceramic tile, glass and metal pieces, always complementing each other\u2019s craft.\u00a0 A very important criteria I strive for in my work is the use of sustainable woods.<\/p>\n
