| I came to furniture making via a design education at the Illinois Institute of Technology. I worked in photography for 12 years while pursuing furniture making in my off hours. In 1992, with the end of traditional photography processes on the horizon, I left my photography job, moved from Chicago to Wisconsin and began resurrecting an old farm. I have been designing and building furniture in my shop in the barn since 1993. In the years since, I have exhibited and sold work in various Midwest art and craft shows, the St. Paul and Baltimore ACC shows, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver and the Philadelphia furniture show, to name a few. I also sell my work through gal- leries in Asheville NC, Chicago, Madison WI, and Bethesda MD.
My ideas typically begin as very rough sketches that I translate into finished |
