Wood carvings and wood furniture. Working with traditional lumber and native species.
My family is deeply rooted in this area of Northern New Mexico. I have spent my life learning and following family customs and traditions. I have learned many trades and artforms from my family from weaving to carpentry.
I am a third generation wood carver and furniture maker. I learned wood working by first using dimensional lumber and then began carving from there. After some time I began to branch out using native wood species that were “live” pieces of wood.
