Wood is a work of art.
My father and grandfather were avid woodworkers. My grandfather built his own cottage in northern Ontario and my father built most of the furniture in our family home. They passed their love of wood and woodworking skills on to me. My father-in-law also contributed significantly to my love and knowledge of fine wood crafting.
Wood is the foundation of my work. In my pieces, I seek to draw out wood’s natural beauty. I enjoy making functional items, which can be appreciated in daily life. I have made a variety of products from installation beam shelving to piggy banks.
I am always on the lookout for wood I can reclaim, and some of my most beautiful pieces have come from reclaimed wood. I also favour food-safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly finishes.
My products fall into the following categories:
• Custom Installation (not featured at craft shows): Beam shelves, decorative fencing, garden trellis', planters, pergolas, lintels.
• Personal Grooming ($25 - 225): Razors & razor sets, essential oil / perfume applicators, perfume misters.

scoops, speakers, light pulls, keychains, signs, terrariums (collaboration: bases crafted by me, terrarium crafted by plantbabies.ca)
• Writing Instruments ($10 - 150): Pens, pencils, fountain pens, calligraphy pens, styli, desktop pen holders, business card holders.
• Toys ($35-80): Rattles, piggy banks, yoyos.
