         To begin, I've always had a desire to work with my hands. In this portfolio you'll find examples of the directions my desires have taken me. The work shown here represents a sample of the different areas in which I have a creative interest. Each medium provides me with a different set of experiences with no two quite the same. The photography is a fairly technical process and can take a bit of time between taking the photos and actually seeing the finished results whereas the woodworking is very hands on from cutting the wood to constructing &/or applying the various elements, to the final painting or finishing. I consider the jewelry to be creative play, not a primary medium for me but one in which I've always had an interest. It gives me the quickest satisfaction in that I can sit down and actually finish a piece in a matter of hours instead of days, weeks & sometimes months that the previous processes require. Most of the pieces are one-of-a-kind though there are a few that I can & will make multiples of. (woodworking and photography). I have done commissions for the woodwork in the past, so if this is something you might be interested in, please let me know. If you'd like to learn more about my work, please visit my website where you'll find a brief statement about the photography & woodwork, or feel free to contact me with any questions. 

Thanks for your interest.
