The maker
As a child, and still today, I collect rocks, driftwood, sticks, leaves, and wildflowers, eternally in awe of the Earth's innate artistry and the way each season adorns itself in brave new textures and shifting colour palettes.
I have always been drawn to working with my hands, expressing myself as a masseur, a welder, a painter, and now through woodturning and carving. Nature remains my greatest muse, my wisest teacher, and the true inspiration behind Riverworn.
In her cycles, I find a soulful mirror for our human experience. Just as the forest holds the resilience to regenerate after catastrophic fire, wild floods, and battering storms, we too possess an innate capacity to heal, transform, and unfurl boldly with budding new blossoms.
