Think of something you've recieved in your life that means a great deal to you. An old family heirloom, a hand made dinner from a loved one (even if it was a bit burnt); an artfully crafted love letter from the seventh grade. These things are irreplaceable because they are more than meaningless objects that you would buy at a store. They are given with love and hold unique memories that can never be replaced. Give your loved ones a gift that would live on, being passed down from generation to generation; something that will remind them of the memories we once had and want to hold on to. By now you have given many gifts for weddings, birthdays and Christmas, right? This time choose something that holds more than just a space in their home; have something created that will hold a place in their heart.

I use woodburning to create permanent impressions using heat to scar the wood’s surface. Just like in life, some scars tell stories of memorable childhood experiences while others are deeper and far more painful. Good or bad, no matter the degree, they all leave a mark. Woodburning creates a permanent visual impression like a memory leaves a psychological one. No other medium can match the range of emotion of up to 900 degree heat and the resulting smoke from prolonged contact between the heated metal and the wooden canvas. Even the lightest touch can turn into something more than intended.
Wouldn't it be nice to forget all of our painful memories and scars, and dream of a time and place where things are simple and beautiful? Such is the inspiration for my work. My old family photographs show moments when people appeared happy with the simple things in life, like a beautiful garden or smoking a pipe on the porch; being on a farm, or daydreaming on a tree swing. Blissful happiness…or are they disguising their own deep secrets?
