Wood sculpture

My sculptural work is driven by spatial awareness and creative emphasis.  The abstract work has grown as experience with newer and more refined tools has allowed.  The wood species has also improved, from construction based woods originally, to more rare hardwoods in more current pieces.  The designs are seldom human or animal forms, but are more directed toward a smooth curved line with the use of negative space.  The contemporary pieces use the warmth of natural wood, rarely stained or painted, using the actual color of the wood finish, contrasted at times with the live edge. My designs are intuitive and driven by the shape and grain of the wood. I make work to add to a contemporary home with the warmth of wood shapes adding to ones environment.
