Woodcarving is a creative pathway for me to express myself. I create my work from several different kinds of wood that are split from rounds. I create a sense of emotion in my work. In order to achieve this I use elements of distortion in the facial features, such as long noses and pronounced cheeks. I also focus on the grain which reveals movement and liveliness in the facial features. During the process I am letting the wood speak through the grain to reveal its beauty. To create these beautiful works I use hatchets, chisels, rasps, and various other hand tools. All of my work is original and one of a kind. I hope you enjoy my imaginative creations.
