I believe in furniture as art. Line, shape and color combining to form a visual expression, one of simple aesthetic beauty. I believe in furniture as craft—traditional hands-on methods of woodworking. There is value in knowing that something was built a certain way for its strength and visual impact. In my furniture I have striven to find a balance between these two things. With both art and craftsmanship as the driving forces behind my work, I make each piece with an eye toward detail and longevity. I hope that when you see and touch my furniture you will appreciate both its form and function and recognize that each piece is designed and built by an individual. Like a work of art they are one of a kind, yet like your favorite chair they are comfortable and easy to live with.
