I’m an artist, furniture maker and luthier living in Crested Butte, CO. I’ve been making things for people in the Gunnison valley and beyond since 1997. My art invites the viewer in to think about the themes I’m exploring with me, to find the common ground and shared or relatable experiences that unite us as individuals and bring us into a community.
Since I was a kid, I’ve been interested in and pursuing the seemingly disparate disciplines of art, woodworking and music in various forms, and each makes up a piece of my life today. I have a deep curiosity around making things that is the through line uniting the different aspects of my career. I’ve studied with painter Richard Harrington, and studied and worked with furniture makers Richard Scott Newman and Gary DiPirro. Additionally, along with building my own electric guitar and bass designs, I’ve worked in a pipe organ shop and done instrument repair work for many happy musicians.
When I’m not working I can be found hanging out with my family, playing music, skiing, biking or hiking in this amazing valley.
