My wife and I live in Waynesville. Our […]

I have had a long standing fascination with stone, rocks, and glass in any shape and form. It all captures and enthralls me with the colors, textures, translucence and varieties that nature and man creates. Glass, (although a man-made medium) is created from sand and has a character all of its own. Moving here 2 […]

For me, crafting home furnishings is both a practice of embodied living – expressing myself in a way that unifies the physical and spiritual – and a study of people now and before. We have so much in common with our collective ancestors, as much as we may protest our differences with them. Perhaps everyday […]
