The tree has always been with me. A steadfast companion no matter where life takes me. Open to the creative process, going beyond boundaries and norm suits my curious bent. The over thirty years of painting and creating has lead to being a fine art woodworker.
Developing my own methods and techniques with wood stain has been challenging and rewarding. It's beautifully translucent and warm, yet it is the most unforgiving medium I’ve worked with. And still, its amber layers speak to me as much as the captivating grain on a live-edged slab.
As a substrate, wood is beyond unique. Unlike a traditional prepared canvas, it’s alive. It expands and contracts as I work. It responds to temperature changes, and each species interacts with stain differently. A true testament to wood's individual character.
Helping others begin or grow their fine art journey is a passion. It's a special kind of pride when you own a fine work that inspires you. I pass this pleasure onto discerning art lovers across the globe. We are stewards of history, beauty, and art.
Remembering a few pieces of art in my childhood home, it was far more than just part of the decor. The right work of art elevates the room, the impression, and those in it. Be it the beginning of a capsule collection or a bespoke piece, Art gives back to us a better life than without it. It's also an investment in family; with proper care it remains generation after generation, lifting and teaching those that follow us, the benefits and value in quality crafted fine art.
