I love doing furniture. When a piece is in my studio I can devote my time and skill to realize a finish that amply exemplifies my obsessive nature and fascination with natural materials and their replication as well as show my love for design and the multitude of techniques I have learned over the years in the decorative painting field. In the process I research, learn and marvel at natures vast offerings and man's decorative achievments over centuries.
