Artist Statement

I am captivated by both woodworking and sculpture, and these two passions came together when I turned my first piece of wood on a lathe. As a medium, wood fascinates me, always surprising in its variation and beauty. As a process, few things rival the experience of cutting a delicate shaving from a spinning piece of wood as I bring my vision to life.

I am inspired by many things, from the organic ruggedness of a tree’s bark to the clean lines of Art Deco. Whether it’s a spindle turning or a large hollow form, each piece presents a new opportunity to challenge my imagination and test my skill. As I continue to grow as an artist, I aspire to use elegant, simple forms that feature the natural beauty of wood in fresh and unique ways.
