Artist Statement:
I give new life to driftwood and otherwise unwanted woods by handcrafting these unique pieces into functional and nature inspired works of art, using a variety of hand tools and modern equipment. I emphasize in my designs, the wild, natural shapes, character and colors that nature provides. By partnering with local parks, cemeteries, tree services and home owners, I’m able to promote wise use of resources by rescuing wood from flood piles, landfills, chippers and burn piles. I then pass along this story behind the wood to the customer.
