I’ve been working with wood since 1980, professionally since about 2002. I prefer working with exotic woods from around the world, as they provide the best color pallet for the pictures I create in my pieces..

My Medium is wood, with my primary category being, Functional Art Furniture and Wood Sculptures. I use the furniture I make as the canvas for the solid wood inlaid pictures I create. I use no stains or paints in my pictures, I use the various colored exotic woods found around the world as my paint pallet. I also create various 2D and 3D solid woodcarvings with wild life and sea life being my primary subject interest.

Some artist see an image in the wood and release it, Some have an idea in their head and mold the wood to become the piece, Some search for day, weeks and months for the perfect piece of wood to work with, and some methodically plan, draw and calculate every piece, I am no less eccentric.

I chose the realm of “Functional Art”, which loosely translated is “Furniture as art”, because it gives you art that you can not only look at, but also make functional use of. It was also a natural choice for me because I needed a method of combining my two favorite loves, One of a kind furniture, and exotic wood inlay and sculpture.

Please enjoy my obsession .....
