My family heritage in the decorative arts, a strong sense of connection to the natural world where I live, and a respect for the inherent beauty and characteristics of each piece of wood are what shapes my aesthetics and informs my woodworking. From the initial choice of wood to every step of the crafting process, I aim to highlight grain patterns, texture, and tones of the wood. This approach enables me to bring my creative vision to life for an object that is visually pleasing and highly tactile.
