Artist Biography
My background and degrees are in Engineering,
Physics, and fine art. In woodworking, I am self-taught, but I use
all the education daily in understanding and manipulating the chemistry
of the resins I use in my "RiverSeries™," in creating
new and interesting designs that are well engineered and beautiful,
and in using, as often as I can, mixed media in curved, flowing
imagery. I have been a kayaker for 45 years and much river imagery
and flow makes its way into my work.
We humans take a wonderfully and naturally curvaceous world and
chop it up into little boxes and sharp pointed squares. I do my
best to reverse that trend. Along with the furniture, I also build
sculpture, table-top to monumental, using some of the same techniques
and lots of the same curvature.
