Influence

I am influenced by the creatures, life and beauty I encounter in my daily activities. Birds on the beach, whales or dolphins swimming by, loons calling, kelp flowing in the tide. The world around me is what influences me and guides my art. I am a coastal artist trying to express my love and appreciation for the world around me.
The Process

Carvings are by custom order, the best work is a result of a collaboration of ideas. Since each creation is from a unique piece of wood hand carved , one at a time, no two carvings are the same.
I am a self-taught woodcarver, living on the coast of British Columbia. I create sculptures inspired by nature and the beauty of the coast. I have taught my eyes, hands, fingers and muscles to work together with the wood to bring my carvings to life.
Evolution of a Carving

In April 2016 I met with Kevin Smith of Maple Leaf Adventures to discuss creating a carving for their converted tug, Swell. Much to my pleasure Kevin liked my work. I will be delivering a large piece to them early this year. As part of the process we have been documenting the progress from the beginning. It has been quite the process; starting with struggling to move the large piece of wood from the storage shed into the outside shop; laying it out; using the power tools to rough out the basic shapes and then finally moving it into my inside carving studio to work on refining the details with my chisels and sandpaper. One year later in April 2017 it was hung in it's final home on Swell ready for their summer season of cruising the coast.
Price Range

-My prices range from $200-$5,000- Prices depend on the size and complexity of each piece. Pieces range from 6 inches to 6 feet.
