function. quality. beauty.
The rubric of Function, Quality, and Beauty governs my work. Each piece I build adheres to these features closely. In every step of my creative process, from inception to completion, I let these terms guide my hand to create a piece that will stand the test of time.
I specialize in locally harvested, solid wood which allows me to create pieces that stem from natural, renewable resources. My shop in the Deerfield valley of vermont, places me close to the source of many of these materials. Coupling amazing access to materials with a melding of traditional and modern techniques, allows the creation of truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
As a furniture maker, I am entirely self-taught. Starting in my early adolescent years, building rustic tables and chairs entirely by hand, my passion and desire to enhance my craft has shown through. Allowing my higher education training to inform design and construction techniques, I have produced a unique style consisting of traditional and experimental elements.
