From the earliest times bowls have had meanings for people beyond the purely utilitarian. The bowl as vessel has a resonance deep within the human psyche.
This website is intended as a portfolio, showcasing some of the work I’ve done over the past 50 years, both as an artist and a teacher.
My work is in the permanent collections of about 30 museums, including the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the White House Permanent Collection, and the American Craft Museum in New York.
I have taught and given demonstrations and presentations all over the U.S. and Canada as well England, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
Woodturning has given me the privilege of being hosted by generous and fascinating people from all over the world and has allowed me to go to places I otherwise would never have visited.
I’m including a record of “my other passion”, the canoe trips I’ve taken in northern Quebec and Labrador, which has served both as a source of inspiration and of renewal.
