- About
I’ve been making my whole life. I have a Masters in Art from the University of Guam, and am currently completing a program in Fine Furniture Making from Vermont Woodworking School. I work in a variety of mediums, but am currently excited about wood, wood burning, and gold leaf. I love the process of “rescuing remnants” by using leftover pieces from previous works, or found materials that would otherwise be scrapped. Natural resources are limited and I am committed to conserving as much as possible. I find the redeeming quality of this process an encouraging metaphor for life: that something that seems broken and discarded can be made new and whole and beautiful.
