Artist Statement

I am inspired from my daily encounters in life. I am surrounded by the beauty of Savannah and the architectural elements of this mysterious city. When I create I explore the functional aspects of art. Woodturning is a process I enjoy the most. The majority of my resources are local woods. The finish is food safe/green standards and are easy to maintain with a simple coating of walnut oil.
