The Artist's Statement

(Unveiling Nature's Beauty Through Woodturning)

Wood is an intriguing material with which to work. I can fashion it to appeal to the visual senses and create an object with a variety of unique tactile characteristics. Generally, my hollow forms/bowls/ plates are made from one solid piece of wood, allowing me to create pieces that display nature's inherent beauties. Making hollow forms, thin walled shapes which are hollowed through a smaller opening, is what interests me the most; however, I enjoy turning anything that allows for artistic expression and unveils the natural beauty of the wood.
