Rooted in folk art tradition, my work centers on low-relief wood carving crafted primarily by hand using chisels and gouges. I prioritize eco-friendly materials such as salvaged wood, milk-paint, and beeswax finishes to create pieces designed to endure for generations.

My subjects draw inspiration from familiar objects, native species, and natural landscapes. For me, carving is both a form of meditation and an act of intention. Beyond wood, I craft hand-tied brooms using traditional techniques. Born out of a need to sweep up shop shavings without scattering dust, I use broomcorn and foot-treadle tensioning to create pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether serving as an altar broom, kitchen cleaner, or everyday tool, each item carries a presence you can feel.

I craft every heirloom to bring a grounded connection to nature into the home. Working with living mediums, these pieces will age gracefully over time, deepening and developing the rich, oxidized colors unique to the materials themselves.

In addition to my studio practice, I also teach classes in traditional wood carving and broom making, driven by a passion project to study and preserve these endangered folk arts so they continue to thrive in our ever-evolving world. I also use my specific art style to create murals and custom logos for businesses looking for a human-made aesthetic. I take a limited number of commissions per year. If you have an idea for a specific carving for yourself or a special someone I would love to help, bring it to life.
