About Dixie:
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t fascinated by working with wood. My mother enjoyed hand carving, but put it aside after having children. The story goes that as a toddler I would get so close to her while she carved, trying to watch what she was doing, that she was afraid she was going to cut one or the other of us. According to her, I got my first pocket knife when I was about kindergarten age; much, much earlier than she would have liked. My interest in woodturning began in 1979 when I taught myself to turn so I could duplicate a chess set my grandfather had made. I attempted this on a small Dremel lathe that I found out real quickly was not adequate. The only instructional material I could find at that time was Dale Nish’s book, Creative Woodturning. Armed with that and, at the time, my new Craftsmen lathe I started my journey into the woodturning world. Although I’m primarily self-taught, I’ve received great advice and inspiration from many other woodturners and artist throughout my career.
Much of my work incorporates a botanical theme, an outcropping of my degree in Agriculture and a love of the outdoors. The shapes, textures, and simple beauty found in the natural world are most often the source of my inspiration. In each of my pieces I try to evoke the sense of tranquility that one often finds during a quiet walk in the woods. Many of my sculptural pieces create a restful place on which my turned work sits.
