I am a wood worker. I will use wood, and whatever works, to create. I think that I have always had a need to create. I feel that others have this need, but have been taught to suppress it. I have learned to use this need to create in my “day jobs.” My ability to think outside the box has most always been to the advantage.
I have worked with several people over the years to add to my tool box. I try to use these tools to promote creating and learning from others. I will share anything I have learned to help others to create.
Over the last two years, mostly, I have found that under water is a good place to find inspiration. Coral Reefs, for example, make me think and appreciate the fact that they are and support life. I simply take parts of what I see and apply them to the wood.
I am grateful that I have had the ability and opportunity to make. These things that I make are my thoughts brought to life in three dimensional form. Enjoy.
