ARTIST STATEMENT
Professionally, I feel very fortunate to be a female in what is essentially a man’s world of wood turning, allowing my style to incorporate the delicate and beautiful as well as the big and bold, fully encapsulating wood’s tactile beauty. Each of my pieces is individually handcrafted on a lathe with the cutting, shaping and sanding all controlled by eye allowing for greater originality and whenever possible using reclaimed local timber. Extra diversity is added using piercing, carving, colour and art work.
My excitement and fulfillment comes from creating unique pieces, each telling their own story, having their own heart - all are created with passion.
Trees are a truly beautiful vital resource and wood art allows natures designs to live on in our homes. Woodturning follows skills that began from the mists of antiquity as a base for producing utility items. When this skill is taken beyond its utilitarian roots with creativity and imagination, adding experiences and a passion from deep within the inner soul... then this becomes art...
