About

I am a craft and design artist. My practice is driven by an exploration of materials and their interaction with specific making processes. I seek to balance controlled, fine craftsmanship with the free expression of the material itself. Each decision I make carries consequences, ones that aim to celebrate the personality of the material or the process.

Using furniture as a form of artistic expression, I create pieces that are unique to each making. My work embraces contrast, texture, and individuality - resulting in objects that hold presence, character, and a sense of material honesty.
