Artisan Gallery

Laser Engraved and hand finished artwork / coasters

I have been a woodcarver and cabinetmaker for nearly 50 years. Largely self-taught, I began relief carving as a hobby in school, and have since combined carving with traditional joinery to produce a variety of tables, desks, cabinets, boxes and mirror frames.

I make studio furniture in my workshop in Great Falls, VA. Working in native Virginia hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, and oak I create unique, one of a kind, pieces that are both artistic and functional. My style ranges between Arts & Crafts to Mid-Century Modern. On this website you'll see some examples of my work but I would be happy to meet with you personally to design the perfect piece for your home.

I turn acrylic-handled pens and kitchen objects on my lathe. My work combines an eye for traditionally beautiful patterns, contours, and proportions with a bold sense of color. I channel that into creating useful household items that offer a ray of sunshine to our everyday activities. I also stitch temari that will brighten any corner of a room.
