Education
Bachelor of Science in Design, University of California, Davis
"Growing up in the pine forests of Southern New Mexico and working summers in a logging camp made a significant influence on my choice of wood as an art medium. Experimenting with tree trunk sections and forming different colored woods into geometric patterns began my interest in design. Studying design at UC Davis I began using domestic and exotic hardwoods to create functional pieces with geometric patterns made of solid wood."
"Currently tongue and groove or dovetail joinery are commonly used and designs are developed to withstand the different climate environments around the world. Creating functional products with superior construction, artistic design and unusual flair are the emphasis of my work. Ultimately my works of art are made to be seen, touched and enjoyed in everyday life."
