“I wanted to do something that would last long after my presence is gone and add a degree of beauty to the world around me. This quest has brought a new passion to my life, the incredible experience of working with woods. Such feelings pushed me into the grace of curves and flow, not normally found in wood designs. Hopefully, my passion and grace in design will ignite a fire of emotion in all who take time to “see through my eyes”.
