Bio: I began my woodworking career in the mid-90’s building rustic log furniture. I became fascinated with the process of harvesting trees from the forest and turning them into beautiful things. When I saw the work of furniture artist Sam Maloof, I loved his organic style and wanted to build with tree branches in his style. I spent the next decade experimenting with a variety of joinery that would help me build with tree branches while keeping the original curves and forks that occur in nature. I developed my signature “pointed finger splice” to connect branches end to end, and soon after shifted from furniture (rocking chairs) to fine art sculptures. I moved to SF 3-1/2 years ago to get involved with the art scene.

Skills and Experience: I have served on several boards. That would be my best contribution.
