| After teaching high
school art for three years, I began working in wood in the summer
1973. What I thought would be just a summer job as an apprentice
in a custom furniture shop actually began a journey into many areas
of woodworking and creating. These included years of designing and
building custom furniture, museum exhibits, and children's furniture
and toys in the Boston area. Since being introduced to woodturning
and then moving to Vermont in the early 90’s, I’ve focused
completely on turning. I create both functional and sculptural turned
and carved wooden pieces, including bowls, vessels, and hollow forms.
In recent years, I’ve been exploring more sculptural forms,
including wooden books and stitched vessels. I’ve been a member
of the Putney Craft Tour since 1993 and now spend my summers working
with The Putney School Summer Programs.
