ARTIST STATEMENT
I work in wood for it’s natural beauty, strength and versatility as a medium. I love looking at raw wood and envisioning how it will evolve into my creation, milling it to reveal the beauty of the grain and knowing that it is unique, much like a fingerprint and no other piece will ever be the same.
The elegant simplicity of wood lends itself to the seamless fusion with other mediums and I often incorporate steel and leather into my work. Minimal and modern aesthetics are characteristics of my style.
