I have been a bowl turner since 2004. It all started with a class that taught me how to take a chunk of wood, turn it on a wood lathe and create a beautiful bowl. That began a new chapter in my life and a new hobby.

Today I work with many varieties of native wood, also tropical and exotic wood. I only use wood that has already been cut down. The colors and texture you see in my pieces are all natural. I use no artificial colors or dyes.

Each piece I create is an original, I am amazed at the hidden beauty I find. It is truly Mother Nature’s gift.

Some of my bowls and vases are segmented. This is where I combine and glue different wood pieces together to create colorful shapes and patterns. Cutting and fitting the pieces together is time consuming, but the final result is a very unique piece unlike any other.

I enjoy my time spent in the woodshop creating each new bowl. When I start on a piece I never know what shape it will take, as the inside is always a surprise.

When looking at the bowls, you will also see the beauty that lies beneath the bark.
