About/Bio
Since an early age, I've carried two things with me: the unquenchable need to create and work on things with my hands, and the strong attraction to trees and natural materials.
My influences are vast, I tend to gravitate toward and absorb the things that naturally interest me. I am drawn to the aesthetics, techniques, and conceptual ideas of the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Japanese Edo Period woodworking and architecture, Adirondack stick furniture, and Great Camp architecture. And last but not least, Nature in so many different ways is a constant driving influence.
To me, “Rustic” is thoughtful of nature and the materials derived from it. I view wood and other various natural materials as a palette to create with. I use rustic materials in ways inspired by traditional Adirondack furniture and architecture. In addition to wood, I work in stained glass. I think craftsmanship is important, My pieces are heirloom quality,
I create truly unique pieces that will embellish your atmosphere and stand the test of time.
