Artist’s Statement:

My work is an exploration of whimsical fantasy and the fantastic, grounded in a traditional and timeless hand carved craftsmanship. Castle stomping dragons, whimsical fairies, crocodile pirates and mythical heroes are the denizens of my carvings and pyrography works. I try to create lasting works of beauty and wonder. When you look at my carvings and wood burnings, I want you to feel a sense of joy and otherworldly peace and wonder. I want you to learn to be a part of this larger fantasy world that is so beautiful and timeless. The world of dreams and symbolism, expressed with the tools of traditional craftsmanship, for you to enjoy and cherish.
