FINE ART WOODTURNING
When I began turning wood I was attracted to the beauty of the material itself. For years I made vessels that celebrated the color, grain and feel of natural wood. During that time, woodturners around the world were pushing the boundaries of turned wood into the world of fine art. I was inspired to explore…
Now, I treat my turned wooden bowls and vases as blank three dimensional canvases. The smooth external surface of the turned wood form is transformed with carved and burned textures that echo rhythms found in nature. Layers of nuanced paint enhance the textured surface and accentuate shapes and patterns. The end result is a sculptural vessel that has the warmth and tactile qualities of wood blended with the visual power of a painting.
