"I have always had a love of natural objects and the environment in which they flourish. I have been extremely blessed to have spent much of my life on my family’s cattle ranch near Tampa, Florida. My most treasured memories are of times spent working on the ranch with my father and uncles and roaming the woods with my camera.
From my earliest memories, I have always enjoyed the creative process of making things with my hands. I developed my creative eye through photography, my first artistic pursuit. Drawing inspiration from the surroundings of my youth, I began a relationship with wood as a craftsman of fine furniture and cabinetry. I am especially drawn to wood with interesting features or imperfections such as knots, voids, worm holes, or decay.
Wood is an imperfect medium, yet I never cease to be amazed by the incredible amount of beauty to be found as I create a new turning. My goal is to bring out this beauty which God and nature has provided and create something that showcases and enhances the natural beauty of the wood for others to enjoy for years to come.
I prefer simple shapes with sensuous flowing lines that showcase and reflect the natural characteristics of the wood. I strive to create turnings that invite the eye and beckon the touch. I enjoy both worlds of creativity whether it’s behind the camera creating images of nature or fine homes, or behind the lathe creating fine woodturnings. The process of both disciplines allows me the opportunity to work with my hands to create images or turnings that I hope will bring out the unseen beauty in both.
Whether captured with a lens, or crafted with a lathe, nature becomes art."
