Sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious...always thoughtfully built!

​​

Through storms of sawdust​ I seek the stories that trees can tell. Each piece of wood has a unique history, shaped by the natural world over its lifetime and then reoriented to a new purpose by the hands that work with it. I strive to forge a connection between nature and human intention, making something new and beautiful to share.

Trees tell me of soil, wind and water – of storms, insects and fungus – of passing seasons – of time on a slow scale.

 

Each piece is handmade and represents a conversation, a back and forth I have with the tree’s tale and our shared human story. I love to reach back to the naturalist drawings and design motifs of past centuries.​​
