Long ago I realized that carving is a form of meditation. I am burning these images into my consciousness 16 hours a day.

As an act of self defense, I made a decision to limit my carving to symbols evoking light, love, peace, exhilaration, freedom, liberty, ecstasy, and the creator of the universe. I spend my life focusing on positive symbols and meeting people that are attracted to them. It just gets better all the time.

If you are unable to appreciate spiritual symbols that are outside your particular faith, please go no further on this website. I believe that spirituality brings us together in love, rather than isolating us in condescension and self righteousness.

Please view my work as a grateful expression of my love of life and creation. May it bring joy to your day.
