I was born, and now live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Over the years I have done many DIY home projects and renovations. While living in Calgary for 6 years I met Rick Wolcott, a West Coast artist, teacher, and storyteller. He sparked my artistic spirit while teaching me traditional wood carving skills. I later returned to Saskatoon and continued to expand my skills to include bird carving and painting. I retired in 2018 and when Covid hit in 2020 I dusted off my lathe and started wood turning. I continue to hone my wood turning skills by traveling and taking classes from professional wood turners like Michael Hosaluk, Jimmy Clewes , Trent Bosch, Jean-Francois Escoulen, Trent Watts, Stewart Furini , and Jacque Vesery.
The work I now combine the different skills and techniques I’ve learned to create more artistic rather than functional pieces.
