Commissioned Woodcarvings & Classes

Commission your own piece

If it can be imagined, it can be realized in wood…

Turning a piece of wood into something that brings joy and wonder to others is something that gives me a great sense of enjoyment and accomplishment. The world is full of inspiration, and ideas come in all shapes and forms…whether it’s something I see, or a conversation with a friend, I try to incorporate it all into my work.

Realism is something that I strive for in my woodcarvings, even down to the smallest detail.  When I carve, I try to tap into the joy of motion and life, while enhancing the natural warmth of wood as a medium.  I work hard to push the limits of relief carving.  I love the challenge of achieving the maximum amount of depth in a thin piece of wood, always trying to let light and air into the deep, dark places.  I constantly strive to learn more about the art of woodcarving, so I can share this art with students and observers, alike.
