“I do what I do in an effort to create something beautiful, to in some small way become more than what I am. The objects that I create are mere expressions of my experiences and interests manifested in a wood medium. Sometimes I arrive at a piece out of a moment of inspiration, or because the materials require it- other times, it’s a solution to a problem. The process of making is very gratifying and one that I thoroughly enjoy. However, the most important aspect of making is the transformation one undergoes by completing a project. Each time I finish a project I leave a small piece of me with it, and in a small way, I am forever changed by it. That change is my evolution as a maker, and the pieces I create are expressions of where I am on my journey. “
