This was a cedar tree that came down in a storm in eastern Virginia. Didn't really know what I wanted to make out of it so I left it in the barn for 8 or 9 years. Then I decided to put it on the lathe and let the wood tell me what to do.
Jerry-Woodturning and Sculpting is my Passion.I work intuitively, I'm communicating with myself and a lot of my work just comes out of working directly with the wood. Never cutting a tree down for my work, instead always looking for trees that have fallen during storms. Imperfections are welcome not avoided. RECYCLING BEAUTY!
Susan-I never stop learning, though I've been painting since I was very young. I start each piece with the excitement of a new idea. Learning doesn't end or begin in art school. Like everything else in life exploration and discovery is an integral part of every piece.
