I love nature. For many years I watched and helped my father and grandfather work in wood. By observing and learning, thinking and searching I found a way to express the feelings and thoughts I have about nature . . . it's beauty and it's passages. Woodturning is a natural way for me to combine my capabilities as an artist and a craftsman.

Whether it be the falling leaves of autumn swirling into a frozen form or a single flower bud unfolding in spring, each piece gives me an opportunity to make a statement about the never ending rituals of nature's evolution. Each form in wood becomes a captured moment in time of it's own existence. And every vessel gives me a way to express my feelings about the things I see around me and to share these visions with others.
