The seduction of sharp tools first drew me to carving—the reductive act of shaping something beautiful from a solid block of wood. Many of my pieces require an incredible amount of time, both in form and concept, allowing me to transmute emotions—some untouched in other ways—into tangible works of art. I am endlessly grateful for this craft and the ability to share it with others.
