"Working with wood

is like breaking open a geode

and discovering hidden treasure!"

Lidded Containers have fascinated me since I was a child hiding secret treasures.Today they are my most creatively stimulating body of work.

My Vessels are turned and hollowed on a lathe, beginning with solid pieces of wood. The designs choreograph pure classic forms with natural burlwood patterns.

I complete each vessel with a delicate hand-turned Blackwood finial, creating a Sculpture with elegant presence and lively personality.

A jewel hidden under the lid reminds us of the treasure that life reveals when we make the effort to look deeper within.

I am pleased to share my life and my work with you through this website. I hope you will enjoy my Lidded Vessels as much as I have enjoyed the creative process!
