I create one of a kind pieces made from sustainable wood that are inspired by both the material and the environment from which it came. Many designs reflect the natural shapes of plants, stones and water, while others draw on the classical shapes of ancient vessels. Ultimately each piece is meant to bring the nature of the forest into the home. Whether for use or simply display, they connect to trees and land. I look for the intersection of natural form and imagination that reveals itself as the piece evolves. The material comes only from fallen or standing dead wood, never a live tree.
I studied photography and design at RIT and worked as an advertising and editorial photographer in NYC for 22 years. Then fine carpentry and contracting until 2018 when I moved to Massachusetts to do fine woodwork and sculpture full time. Member: Berkshire Woodworkers Guild. I do custom cabinetry, wood turning and jewelry/ display boxes. Still making and showing photographs; largely landscape.
