Artistic endeavours in the medium of wood
As a craftsman, I am the designer and maker of unique objets d'art for personal spaces. My standards of work are simple: unique design, fine execution, and always created in an eco-friendly manner. I have been fortunate to have had my works exhibited in such fine establishments as the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino BC, the Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet BC and the Art Gallery of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta. My creative works have been purchased for private collections or as a personal indulgence and have been shipped to locations from New York city to Tasmania, and many places in between.
My carvings and cabinet making surpass transient trends and styles; they are timeless in classic contemporary beauty, and bring with them a soothing presence that fits seamlessly into any architectural style. Each and every piece that I make, is as environmentally friendly as possible, from sourcing the materials as locally as possible to using the most eco-friendly finish that's available today.
If you are considering a unique artistic accent piece for your personal or professional space, consider my creative work to fit your needs.

Sapling Cabinet
Kitchen cabinets are rather boring, but add in a free-standing cabinet or unfitted kitchen cabinet in the mix, the kitchen dynamics really change. Here is an unfitted kitchen cabinet I made, that sits at the end of a peninsula in the kitchen. Made of cherry with vertical grain fir drawer fronts. The drawer fronts are adorned with a hand carved sapling tree, the limbs terminating with spun drawer handles. A cabinet such as this could fit comfortably in virtually any room in a house, and used for a variety of purposes. Size and timber selection can be adjusted to fit personal needs.

Hearts
I have made these small artistic pieces for years.
These whimsical hearts are the perfect gift for that special person or that meaningful occasion.
Each heart I make is as unique as the individual that receive it.
