About

I've been creating wood fish sculptures for nearly 10 years and have finally reached a point where I'm comfortable sharing my art with other fish enthusiasts. Fishing has always been a significant part of my life and continues to be to this day. I spent my high school and college years in western Montana where I was fortunate enough to enjoy fishing blue ribbon streams for various trout species. Having since relocated to the Seattle area, I’ve enjoyed a rich variety of Pacific Northwest fishing opportunities.  From the annual salmon runs to the predictable spring and fall returns of steelhead trout, I have been blessed to be able to chase fish most of my life.

The love for fishing coupled with my appreciation for the beauty and struggle these creatures share and endure, inspired me to begin creating life like fish scuptures.   Since making this commitment, I have focused on replicating nature’s gift of trout.  While impossible to duplicate nature’s work, I try to bring life and authenticity to each painted carving. As a self taught fish carver, I hope my work resonates with most, is desirable to some, and is worthy for consideration by a few.
