About Us

 I have always loved working with my hands and solving problems.   Over the years, this could have been: fixing small engines, doing home improvements, or coding or designing a software solution to complex problems.  Working with wood gives me great satisfaction and brings many of my past experiences together.

I've been a woodworking hobbyist, off and on, for about 20 years.  Participating in workshops and taking classes from Tom Lee at Ballard Woodworks has brought me to my current skill level.  Creating mostly furniture at first but, now smaller objects.  Having worked in high-tech for the last 30 years, I left the corporate word in May 2022 to pursue what I love!

My art has been inspired over the years by collecting Carnival Glass and owning an art glass and ceramics gallery for 3 years in Seattle.  Observing the way beauty is extracted and created from earth materials amazes me.
