About the Artist:

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.
