Artist Statement

My art is very personal to me and I want to share it with those who have never really looked at the inside of a tree the way I do. There is an amazing inner beauty hidden inside a tree. The vessels I create reveal the grain and color, the different funguses, all the unique properties that are hidden from man inside a tree.

Trees are older than man. They should be respected. Without the trees, there would be no life as we know it. The wood has an inner spirit, an energy that is waiting to be released. That is what I try to do, to release that inner spirit so the wood can again please man.

Each piece tells a tale, of the struggles in growth, success in reaching the sun, imperfections from lightning and insects, drought and fire. This is what makes each individual vessel unique.

I hope the quality of my work is subtle and simple and appreciated by those who find awe in nature. I want each person who sees my handmade objects to catch a glimpse of what I see in the wood.
