Starting with a passion to create public and personal items and environments that are agreeable and aesthetically pleasing. I do this by designing, then fabricating completely by hand, various objects and structures that visually and tactilely stimulate the senses. Using such time honored crafts as woodworking, marquetry, architectural elements, decorative painting, faux marble, faux bois, tromp l’oeil, murals, textiles, gilding, metallics, glazing, set design and whatever else is needed to bring a vision to life. With this I consider sustainability and recycling of existing items and materials, transforming them into something new while retaining as much of the spirit, soul and energy that was invested at the time of their original creation. Every item, object, collection or environment is personal and unique and fulfills an individuals needs and desires in a positive way.
