Influences

I can't really think of anyone who really influenced me other than myself

How it all began...

after an industrial injury left me un-ble to use my hands in a repetitiouse manner. being a former chef , food is art and creativity, and without the ability to create food ,I started creating other art forms to fill the need for an outlet, or just some sense of being

In the works...

There is always the next show stopper in the works .
but currently a 64" round custom table to go with the 6 chairs that I have re-finished. A rocker from winebarrels, a bench from early 1900's turned bed frame, the list in my head is too long to write it all down.

Down the road...

About me in general...

born in sanfrancisco raised in the napa valley, first carear was a chef in the napa valley, industrial injury left me un-able to use my hands for a long period of time doing anything that is repetitiouse. started taking the creative mind that it took to create food and used that creativity to take the digital camera way outside the box with abstract light photography, then moved into jewelery making , and then started making furniture from re-claimed materials. and many other types of medias in the search to re-invent myself.
