I am entirely self-taught wood-turner. I have been honing my skills on the lathe for the past twelve years. I’ve been honored to receive a number of awards at various art and fine craft shows and in the spring of 2014 I achieved the honor of being accepted as a member of the Roycroft Artisans at Large group based in East Aurora, NY. In March of 2019, I was even more honored to have been elevated to the rank of Master Artisan with the Roycrofters. I’ve learned that I have a true passion for uncovering the hidden beauty that is locked away inside each piece of wood. I love the experience of watching each piece evolve with every pass of my chisel, every cut revealing more of the character and warmth hidden within. I consider it my privilege to take a tired old piece of wood and re-purpose it into something beautiful, whether it’s a decorative art piece, or a functional food-safe bowl. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy the process of bringing each piece come to life.
