ARTIST STATEMENT |
Turning is an opportunity to discover and experience pattern and form. It is exciting to expose a tree's unusual figure and find a vessel inside. That turned vessel is like a flowing object, revealing the inner beauty of the once majestic living tree. The wood continues to live for us, providing enjoyment through sight, touch, and use.

RESUME |
|
Building on a life-long experience with wood, I began turning 29 years ago with the aid of a book. Workshops with leading wood turners and several conferences of the American Woodturners Association reinforced techniques and skills. Acceptance in over 60 juried and invitational shows, three solo shows, and numerous private sales have contributed to my continuing growth. While not formally trained in art and design, searching for form has always been paramount. Inspiration and ideas have come from glass and clay artists, selected oriental forms, well known sculptors and leading wood turners.Top
