Welcome to New Hope in Wood

Studio Owner

 I make one of a kind sculptural lighting with a marriage of materials to enlighten the home; including locally gathered wood, stone, copper, and my own handmade paper shades.

 Georgia O'Keeffe meets Ansel Adams. That stylistic encounter best describes much of my work. Nature photographed with both 8x10 in and high end digital capture cameras. Having studied under Yosef Karsh and through producing fine portraits for decades, I've come to regard much of my art as botanic portraiture. The resulting imagery transforms the subject into stunning studies of form, line, light and color, bringing a fresh perspective to the commonplace.

When I was in High School I bought my first table saw and began making small jewelry boxes and other small wood items.

Color, texture and dimension is the basis for my original acrylic, abstract artwork. Each canvas brings meaning that takes the viewer into the painting where they can make new and unexpected insights. My paintings are non-representational, are constructed of many layers and may include texture medium, glazes, washes, graphite, charcoal, found papers, pastels and metal leaf.
