  I have always loved working with wood but it was not until I completed my corporate life that I found the time to really investigate my creative  side.  What started as building simple birdhouses for my granddaughters and friends (artfully blended in with some dumpster diving to reclaim wood) evolved into a real passion to design more contemporary Bird Homes for the discerning Bird.  With a taller more elegant shape, reclaimed woods of many types (including roots) and various other materials I build unique, one of a kind Bird Homes.     

My work has further evolved with experiments into blocks of wood of varying shapes, color and frames including grids, boxes and metal containers.  This area is still a work in progress so your comments are appreciated.       

Accolades from family and friends, access to the Venue gallery and an occasional sale is all wonderful but my greatest reward is the following my ideas to see what they will allow me to create.
