Artist’s Statement

In a world where notions of efficiency, mechanization, and mass production are so pervasive, I believe that there is still a place for beautiful, well-crafted objects that are made by hand.  I use the finest materials and techniques to produce heirloom-quality pieces. Each commission receives my full attention, from concept to delivery.

My work draws on a variety of influences that include the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, Chinese and Japanese traditional furniture, and forms found in nature.  Many of my pieces feature highly figured or hand-carved hardwoods.
