Brian is a self-taught wood turner who has been honing his skills for the past twelve years. He has earned a number of awards at various art shows and exhibitions in both New York and Michigan. In 2014 he became a member of the historic Roycroft Artisans at Large group, based in East Aurora, NY and in 2019 he was elevated to the level of Roycroft Master Artisan. He is also an active member of the Blue Coast Artist Group in southwest Michigan.

As Brian has pushed his turning skills to new levels, he has found that he has a true passion for uncovering the hidden beauty that is locked away inside each piece of wood that he works with. Brian loves the experience of watching each piece evolve with every pass of his chisel – every cut, revealing more of the character and warmth within. He considers it a privilege to transform a cast-off piece of wood, repurposing it into something new and beautiful – whether it’s a decorative art piece or a functional household item.
