Nature Inspired Art
These sculptural animals are created by hand using needle felting, a process where wool is carefully shaped and compacted into form one fiber at a time. Each piece is then mounted on thoughtfully selected wood chosen to reflect the animal’s natural habitat and create a more complete sense of place. The combination of soft textile work and weathered natural materials gives each sculpture a strong sense of character, while highlighting both craftsmanship and a connection to the outdoors.
Nature In Wool
The Entropy Series explores the relationship between time, decay, and preservation. Each clock begins with a naturally deteriorated, organically shaped piece of wood that is stabilized with resin to preserve its character and structure. The clock face is then turned on the lathe, with select brass details added using CNC machining. By combining reclaimed material, traditional woodworking, and modern techniques, each piece highlights the contrast between natural aging and precise craftsmanship—turning weathered wood into a functional object that reflects both the passage of time and the effort to hold onto it.

Turned And Sculpted Vessels
Turned from carefully selected hardwoods, these live-edge vessels are a study in the character of the grain. Rather than imposing symmetry, each piece is shaped in a quiet dialogue with the material—allowing natural voids, bark inclusions, and mineral streaks to dictate the final form. This process honors the wood’s inherent narrative, resulting in sculptural objects that feel both raw and refined.
Guided by the lathe but defined by nature, these vessels celebrate the 'flaws' that give a piece its soul: the dramatic shift of a burl, the shimmer of chatoyance, and the organic contours of the original timber. Finished by hand to enhance their tactile depth, these works serve as both functional centerpieces and standalone expressions of the forest’s enduring beauty.
