My turning philosophy is to create high-quality, hand-made wooden bowls to demonstrate the beauty of the internal wood grain patterns of native hardwoods. My bowls are low-profile to allow inspection of the wood grain patterns. They are utilitarian and useful in the Kitchen and for decorations. All are unique. All are finished in food-safe oil finish.
My work is not intended to describe particular places, but the ideas related to them. I like the little things of life, the spectacle of nature, the lines and shapes of the world. I use them to create images, to map voyages, to share impressions. I want my prints to be colorful, warm, and a bit mysterious. It should make you smile, travel, wonder, so you’ll want to take them home with you.

I am a junior high student and my Dyslexic Super Power gives me my artistic strength. I started the business to share my art and give back to charities working on making the world a better place. Most of my designs start with a photograph and then I draw over the image with my iPad/pencil. I put the art on greeting cards, notepads, journals and totes.
