I find beauty in wood and turn that into artwork. While I will start working on a piece with a design in mind, I have to watch the wood and let it tell its own story. Often, what one would call a defect in the wood turns out to be a wonderful feature and, based on the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, I will emphasize it. All pieces are turned on the lathe and other tools are used to create unique shapes that would not immediately be recognized as starting off round.

I rarely add color to the pieces I work on. In my segmented work, I use various species of wood with brilliant colors and chatoyance to create a colorful piece of art. I have also incorporated CNC work in my segmented pieces to create different features. All the pieces have durable finishes on them, and many of the bowls are designated as food safe.

The combination of these tools and the mastery of the techniques creates unique pieces of art. A perfect palette - I say that I am "Picking up where Mother Nature left off".
