When I began turning wood in 1998, I was attracted to the beauty of the wood itself, and for many years I made vessels that celebrated the color, grain and feel of the natural material. In 2015, I began carving, burning, and painting my wood vessels and sculptures. I now treat the turned wood, as it comes from the lathe, as a blank, three dimensional canvas, which I then transform completely with carved, burned, and painted textures that may resemble pottery or glass.
