My genre is wood art and I have chosen to work with wood as a primary medium due to the inherent
                          beauty and proximity to nature I can attain through this medium. The style of wood art which I create 
                          is a combination of subtle and dramatic features while emphasizing original, unique design. In my wall
                          art, I strive to use unusual graphics in vibrant woods to depict an image or vision. I like to include
                          coloured woods in my work both to enhance the graphics and focal point of the piece and to celebrate
                          the inherent beauty of complementary woods. 

                          As an artist, I enjoy challenging myself with new techniques and processes, often drawing inspiration
                          from the natural organic forms which surround us in our environment.
                                 

                          Studio Furniture - is an artists furniture creation that is a one of a kind piece, or at the very most,
                          a limited edition. Studio furniture often follows the same rules as fine art. Color design, design theory,
                          proportion all have their place in fine studio furniture. 

                                 With a focus on creating modern, contemporary studio furniture, sculptural and wood art, a large part
                          of the aesthetic in my work is informed through the Modern period of design and styling. My work can
                          be characterized with contemporary variations of this period with inclusion of period design elements.

        
                                                            
                                                           
                          The contemporary style of studio furniture I create has simple, clean lines with a combination
                          of subtle and dramatic features while emphasizing original, unique design. My designs combine both
                          rectilinear and curvilinear components and center around both form and function. My sculptural work
                          is decorative whereas my wood art can be decorative, functional or both.                 

                          The design methodology I adhere to is both modern and contemporary, Contemporary design
                          utilizing traditional joinery and finishing. Most recently, I have delved into mixed media designs,
                          combining wood, metal, glass and stone into my work, embracing complementary mediums to wood.
