Biography
I began turning when I was fourteen. I have been turning now for seven years and have recently begun giving turning demonstrations and lectures as well. Perhaps the most enthralling thing about wood sculpting and turning is the natural progression and evolution of my work. Looking back upon past work leaves me critical and sometimes even disgusted while looking forward to future work fills me with longing and excitement. As craft becomes second nature and my creative mind evolves, my work grows more meaningful, my time in the shop, more enjoyable.
