Welcome to my site!  Please feel free to browse through the galleries, I hope you see something that makes you smile or touches you in a special way!  I enjoy doing all types of carvings but Santas are my personal favorite and you will find more of them than anything else.

    I've heard it said that to be happiest in life one must find something they are truly passionate about.  In December 2000, when I first put knife to wood, I realized that was exactly what I had found!

    I've always been what I consider a 'crafty' person, drawing and sketching since childhood.  With no formal training, I've tried my hand at oil painting, water colors and pastels.  I've taught myself to sew, knit, crochet and do needlepoint and have done many craft type projects.  Now I feel all those things were leading me to what I love doing more than anything else, taking a block of wood and bringing out what I can see inside of it.  All work is done entirely by me, from the sketching of ideas to the final coat of satin finish that gives each piece it's warm glow.  Each piece is then signed, dated and numbered.  I hope you enjoy seeing what I can find!

   My work may be purchased, as available or ordered directly, through myself or these fine Galleries, in the Chicago area at FolkWorks Gallery.  In the Baltimore area, at Vincenti Decoys.  In the Seattle area, at Reasons to Believe.  If you are interested in commissioning a carving or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

    Please take a moment to sign my guest book and leave a message if you wish, I'd love to hear what you think of my work!

    Thanks for visiting!
