My work is best described as folk or self taught. Each piece is
hand carved on white pine boards and then painted with acrylics,
before being hung on the wall. Fourteen years experience working as
a sign painter and carpenter strongly influenced my development of
skills as an artist. See me demonstrate carving every summer
Saturday at the Ithaca Farmers' Market.
