As a custom cabinetmaker
since 1984, I create a variety of cabinetry, furniture
and accessories. My larger projects range from hardwood
kitchens to built-ins for bedrooms, living rooms,
bathrooms and offices. For customers looking for a
piece of furniture to match other furniture, I can
design and make tables, bookshelves, small cabinets
and accessories such as mirrors, clocks and lamps.
I started working with mixed media
on smaller projects after receiving a Sam and Alfreda
Maloof Scholarship in Furniture Design in 1990 from
the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado. Some of
my accessories and small furniture pieces are created
with mixed media combinations of wood, plaster, paint
and some found objects. These items bring bright colors
to accent the warmth of the natural wood colors.

Pine and cherry desk and shelf organizing built-in
cabinetry helped these clients to remove clutter off
of their kitchen table. The dividers for the cubby
holes can be repositioned to make different sizes
of spaces. Other matching cabinetry had been added
to the left in the kitchen area. Eventually, the whole
kitchen will be redone to match. This cabinetry is
in West Brattleboro, Vermont and was done in 2001. |
