I have been using a wood lathe for 35 years but in the last 4 years I've been increasing my skills.
Brief art bio: I am best known for my work with wood from Aspen trees from Colorado and Utah.
Using a lathe, I create vases, bowls, compotes, and other radial  symmetrical objects.
I use only naturally colored woods and combine them to create contrasting patterns.
Artist statement: Many people enjoy forests as well as symmetry and function.
There is a connection to God's creation. I use God's creativity in trees as a material to
create symmetry and function while bringing out the beauty of the wood.
