With each of my pieces, there is a story about the tree the wood is from. It not just a bit of wood, it's a part of history.

E has been working with wood since childhood. Having a Swedish cabinetmaker grandfather and an architect/furniture designer father, E was surrounded by the love and respect for nature, trees and the beauty of wood. Having developed a complete woodworking studio, for years E designed and created 'flatwork' - small furniture pieces. "I always loved geometry and building furniture satisfied the love for joinery".

Since the mid-1990's E has concentrated on creating artistic and architectural woodturnings. Having studied with master turners, such as Allan Batty of England who has a lifetime of woodturning experience, E's work has evolved to include vessel oriented forms and sculptural turnings. Furthermore, many of E's work include a wide variety of pyrographic embellishments.

Most of the wood E uses is rescued from local urban trees removed or fallen from storms. For example, the following Valley Oak from Walnut Creek, CA had to be removed due to disease. When the oak tree was born in 1717, only native Indians known as Bolbones inhabited the Ygnacio Valley. The tree stood majestically until it was taken down on October 30, 2001 due to heart-rot. The oak was 284 years old. Transforming the wood into a work of art has given the tree a second life that E hopes will continue its history.
