I use laminations of hardwoods of contrasting colors and grains to produce artistic patterns in a variety of products. Products include kitchenware, desk accessories, game boards & game tables. Flat grain, edge-grain, or end-grain surfaces are available in many designs.
Growing up in the pine forests of Southern New Mexico and working summers in a logging camp made a significant influence on my choice of wood as an art medium. Experimenting with tree trunk sections and forming different colored woods into geometric patterns began my interest in design. I studied design at UC Davis where I began using domestic and exotic hardwoods to create functional pieces with geometric patterns made of solid wood.
Currently tongue and groove or dovetail joinery is commonly used and the designs are developed to withstand the different climates from around the world. Creating functional products with superior construction, artistic design and unusual flair are the emphasis of my work.
