My education and early work background are in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. I found myself seeking more creative work that also involved a hands on, tangible expression. Marquetry has been the perfect medium for me. It allows me to work with beautiful wood varieties and the soothing natural world of mountain scenery.
My selection of hand made classic North American landscapes distinguish themselves from other marquetry you may have seen. The colors are bright, strong, crisp and all natural. Exotic woods are used to create these rich textures and vibrant colors - not dyes! In several of the night scenes, a special touch has been added - small brass discs inserted in the night sky to represent stars and/or constellations.
Each of these charming scenes is designed and produced using a fascinating selection of wood varieties from around the world. Wood lovers can try their hand at identifying them and then refer to the list on the back of each framed scene to see how many they can name. The Panorama series is a unique collection of larger sceneries. Each one is distinctly mounted in it's own special stepped, angled frame.
My hope is that my sceneries will be a reminder of the spectacular beauty of the natural world and bring a soothing influence into your home.
