Details

My passion is to weave wood ...

... to create personal, unique, three-dimensional works of art with exotic hardwoods and brightly colored veneers that are hand dyed in my studio. My designs include jewelry, ceremonial bowls, and tableware.

Each piece is carefully constructed using the colors, grains and textures of exotic and domestic hardwoods from sustainable sources. The natural beauty is framed and accentuated with the dyed veneer, a combination that sets my work apart and makes each piece one-of-a-kind.

Commission pieces are gladly accepted. Contact me by email or by phone to order direct, always with free shipping.

May you find exactly what you are looking for on my website, at the Port Townsend Gallery or at my E-store
