Furniture

The reason behind my designs is simply this: bring art into our daily lives where we can enjoy it more fully. Life is so much more colorful and alive when we experience beauty every day!

Our furniture is handcrafted, each piece made with painstaking attention to detail in our studio. Please browse through the pieces below and feel free to contact us with questions or pricing information.


Renewal
My work is a reflection of Life—my surroundings, people and events, both close and far away. There are challenges to be faced; however, there is much that we are blessed with. This work represents a renewal for me.

Segue Bench
Reminiscent of trees, where two or more branches meet, soft curves blend the two into one. Constructed using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and then hand-shaped using spokeshaves and rasps to achieve smooth transitions (i.e., segues) between elements.

Sycamore Bench
This bench was my exploration into the world of curves in furniture making. The entire structure was made using bent lamination, but it could also be constructed of solid wood.

Selected for the International Exhibition The Chair, juried by Sam Maloof at the Worcester Center for Crafts in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Monarch Butterfly Table
I first loved the flight, the colors, the life of the butterfly as a child. As an adult I still smile when I see a beautiful butterfly.

Sunset Lamp
The end of the day, a feeling of calm, time to rest—Sunset. The unmistakable look when the sun is low and the trees are silhouetted black against the bright orange, reds, and purples of the sky.
