I have been creating wood sculptures for 6+ years. I create larger sculptures using chainsaws and other power tools and I create hand carved driftwood carvings and woodspirits. I use a variety of wood types. I  also make wood keepsake boxes out of colorful woods using a bandsaw.  About a year ago I began wood turning which allows me to create wine stoppers from exotic woods.  I live in Avon, Indiana, which is just west of Indianapolis.

I completed 5 classes in Chainsaw Carving at the Smokey Mountain School of Woodcarving in Townsend Tennessee.  I also completed a woodturning class at the Indianapolis Art Center.  I am actively involved in the Womens Woodworking Guild of Indiana where I have also learned many new skills.

By using the buttons above, this web site will display pictures of carvings that I have created that are available for purchase. It will also display carvings that have been sold or are not available for sale. You will also see stump carvings that I created at customers homes. Custom Orders are welcome but there is currently a bit of a wait for custom work! If you are interested in any of the carvings that are available or are interested in custom carvings, just give me a call or send me an email. Thanks for checking out my carvings!!
