Unique Hand-Carved Folk Art for Collectors and gift-Giving
Each one-of-a-kind carving is shaped entirely by hand in my Adirondack studio using traditional knives and gouges. Inspired by quilting, woodland wildlife, and the quiet beauty of the Adirondacks.

About
The Artist
I was always a maker. As a child I learned to knit, crochet, needlepoint, embroider, and so many other things that my grandmother shared. But I always wanted to try woodcarving.
As an adult and with the help of a family friend who was a professionally recognized wildlife carver, I bought a carving book, 1 block of wood, 1 knife, 1 gouge…..and I was hooked.
Completely self-taught, yet always learning and finding new carvings to create. Carving one of a kind pieces with only hand tools is what I love. Quilting in wood has become my focus as it was the one handcraft my grandmother and I didn’t get to before she left us. So in a way, I am doing it for both of us.
Thank you for looking.
