Custom Woodwork Design

A native to Atlanta, Georgia. My love for our natural environment  began as a young child. Trees represented a place to adventure. From hikes in the woods to climbing them in urban parks, I studied and learned the many indigenous species in the southeastern

region of the United States. As I got older, I took interest in wood working. I enjoyed taking an idea from concept to creation, but my earliest attempts were very rudimentary and wrought with failures. My grandfather, Perry, had a workshop and decades of experience working with wood. His artistry and knowledge inspired me. I expanded my knowledge of wood types – locally and globally – variations in density, grains, patterns, color, and texture. Every piece has a truly unique pattern – one that tells the story of its existence. Most people look at wood and they appreciate what it built. I look at what is built and appreciate the wood used to build it. Every piece of wood being truly unique to its own heritage and journey. As a way of memorializing the gift left behind, I carefully select pieces that provide captivating design. I work tediously to enhance the natural artwork; complimenting with swirls of epoxy or intricate inlays or simply sanding and finishing to

allow its inherent patterns to resonate. Each piece I produce is one of a kind just like the source of my creations.
