Being of Irish origin, I come from a multi-generational line of artists, and have always felt art to be a major part of my life. I have long been personally fascinated by wood as an artistic medium. Even without formal training in the art field, wood textures, colors, and the astonishing variations in grain patterns have all brought me to a point where each piece speaks to me and tells me what it wants to be as it begins it’s journey into a second life. All of my turnings highlight this variety, and now I find the same concept moves seamlessly along into the development and production of sculpture.
