ARTIST BIO

I am an experienced Manager, Boilermaker, Welder, Fitter & Turner, Music Recording Technician, Musician and Artist. I enjoy the challenge that woodturning provides as it includes both a technical process and artistic element. As I work I find that the resolution of a problem can often result in a wonderful shift into a new shape/creation, a small sketch is drawn as a reminder and then I jump into creating the piece when the mood hits me. The new piece is actually a part of me shown to this world. My focus on my woodturning is on precision and perfection. Each piece of wood is unique and the most enjoyable part of the process is to expose the inner beauty of the wood. If we could download the history of a tree’s life it could tell a wonderful story of their life’s experienced “Sunshine and Storms”, I find that it is essential to look both inside and outside the field of woodturning for inspiration with an eye for art. Inspiration does not necessarily happen instantaneously. It often diffused overtime,
