My high school woodshop class is where my passion for wood began (1972). After receiving my BFA from MICA I went on to become a senior graphic designer.  Even though I was very successful at my trade, I found I still needed something else to express my art on a more personal level.  At the age of 50, I bought my first few chisels, and as they say, the rest is history. I use my chisels, mallets, files and other hand-tools to express my love of wood  in my art. I hope it shows. Now retired I spend most of my time carving and shaping wood.
