I love the energy creating brings into my life. I dont often make the same thing twice and make each piece as an expression of itself. I enjoy the painstaking manual process of each step, as time consuming and messy as it is. The finished piece is important to me - but I savor the process of making it all myself. 

My Woodshop is my Happy Place

When I'm not managing nature preserves at my day job, I am in my shop gluing, sawing, sketching,  sanding.... you get the idea! Im in there a lot.

The other part about life in my woodshop is sharing it with my Quality Supervisor and Safety Manager - AKA Jake the old Coonhound and Olive the Malinois. Sometimes MowMow the cat drops by with some design advice.

It’s a wrap!

The big day may have come and gone, but keep in touch as we’re always up to something new and exciting.

And since I like the history of things... How I got here

  

I have been making art since I began having memories. I started with drawing, then sculpting, then jewelry-making. In my college years, I painted extensively. I moved to the woods of Alabama after I graduated college and my years in rural Appalachia were the most impactful years of my life and surfaced in me a grit I didn’t really know I had. When I moved there my dad bought me my first set of power tools so I would not be quite so helpless out there. From there I started making dog houses and chicken coops, then when I needed furniture, I decided I would teach myself how to make it. In these 10 years of woodworking, I have found that in a world full of problems, woodworking was a space where I enjoyed the challenges presented by the wood, space, function and aesthetics and designing ways to solve those problems and provide an alternative to environmentally destructive and mindless consumerism. I am so excited to create and bring authentic pieces to life. Joining my original loves, painting, jewelry-making and woodworking, together has felt like coming home and revisiting my own halcyon days. 


I would love to be a part of bringing a unique piece that tells your story into YOUR home.
