I live and work in the Waterfront Historic District of New Bedford, Massachusetts. A lifelong woodworker, I began my artistic career in 1995, and now sell and exhibit my work throughout the country, creating unique wood sculptures on commission and in pursuit of my creative goals. I guest lecture at colleges and universities, and welcome visitors to my street level studio in an 1820 warehouse in the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.
