About the Artist:
My wood turning philosophy is unique.
First of all, I deliberately choose odd pieces of wood.
Then, rather than simply imposing my will, I let the wood participate in the process.
Often the shape, grain, bark, inclusions, voids, spalting, knotholes or texture of the wood will lead me in
unexpected directions.
I am constantly stopping, looking, touching, feeling and listening so I can get the most out of every piece of wood.
The end result is always unusual and often stunning.
And Oh! What a journey!
Each project is an exciting adventure.
I relish the challenge.
It's a whole lot of fun.
It's often difficult.
It's sometimes quite scary(!)
It's always rewarding.
My art, life and demeanor can be summed up in one word: NotsoDull!
