Explore. Create. Inspire.
The soul of a craftsman. My mission in life is to take ideas I get in my head and make the objects in real life. That idea is not unique to me. There are lots of folks that create businesses, artwork, buildings, clothing, jewelry, and all kinds of other items. For me, it is about making the object, however, there is another layer in there that includes making it by hand, and to the best quality I can. My life (and creating) is heavily influenced by the seasons. Each season brings it’s unique energies and inspirations, as well as it’s limitations.
There is something about my spirit that wants to create, but more importantly, create with my hands. I’m the weirdo that uses a handsaw instead of a power saw. Add to that, when I see things I like, usually the first thought to cross my mind is “Could I make that?” I’m the polar opposite of Amazon and Ikea. I prefer quality to quantity and handcrafted to mass produced. If that sounds like you or something interesting… Keep scrolling and reading!
I’m a bit all over the place.. always working on something… you never know what will show up in these categories below of “Recently Completed” or my “Works in Progress”.
Here are a few of my projects that I have completed recently.
I’m constantly inspired to create. I work in a multitude of mediums, so my works in progress will be varied and seemingly unrelated. What is fun for me is that working on different projects allows me to utilize insights, skills or ideas on other projects. My projects flow into each other as I work and sometimes, magic happens! 🙂
