Redwood, Peruvian Walnut. 14′W x 10′H x 2′L (2009)

Reclaimed from a twenty-foot muscatel wine fermentation barrel, these redwood shelves display a 57 year old patina.

When the boards were being disassembled from the Wisconsin Liquor Warehouse in 1967, crowbars were used to pull the dowel joinery apart.

These marks, along with nail holes and original wine soaked dowels add to the preservation and history behind each piece.

I have been teaching private music lessons since 2004. My violin studio is located in South Eastern Wisconsin, and offers instrumental study to students of any age or skill level. My teaching methods combine standard Suzuki training and modern techniques with an emphasis on musical expression. When students are able to show an overall command of the instrument, I educate and encourage each individual student through a variety of styles and applications of the instrument such as: jazz, bluegrass, swing, improvisation, and composition.

To find out more about my musical education, accomplishments, and current projects, please take time to visit the other pages in this site. Or click here for Bio/resume. Other string instruments are also taught within my studio; such as viola and guitar. Please contact for questions and scheduling.

Commissioned for a residence in Greendale, WI during the summer of 2007.
The banister was carved from domestic black walnut, and carved to echo patterns in the ironwork. The banister’s contour was ergonomically designed.
Whether climbing up or stepping down, the concave inside edge and curved outside groove, allow for a natural guided grip.
