My work
comes out of a love for
carving, a passion for detail and a tool discovered at a woodworking
show in
1995 that allows me to combine the two, a high speed engraver.
I
do low relief sculpting on ostrich, emu
and rhea eggshells along with nature and geometric shapes carved into
goose and
chicken eggshells. The ocean is a reoccurring theme for my eggshell
relief sculptures and reefs in particular.
My
wood sculpting includes leaves carved
in the round and scenes from nature carved in low relief. These small
sculptures allow
me to explore a material different from the eggshells, yet a material I
am very
familiar with.
My
collectible Christmas ornaments
come from a tradition I started over 25 years ago, of presenting a
handcrafted wood Christmas ornament to family and friends. An
original design is created each year, individually cut from 1/4"
hardwood, sanded, finished with danish oil and then signed and dated.
