I’ve always been drawn to making things with my own hands. Creating is a constant in my life, and carving trays and bowls began as a way to quiet my mind and work through what was on it. It soon became a way to put those feelings into something tangible.
My pieces take shape through both thought and instinct. Some days, optimism leads me to try an unexpected curve or an unconventional shape. Those decisions often become my favorite part of the finished piece. I let the work evolve, allowing how I feel while carving to influence where it goes.
Each piece carries a little of who I was while making it—a personal expression shaped into something useful and meant to be enjoyed.
