I am from Northern California about three miles out of the small town of Corning. A graduate of UC Davis, I worked as a research agronomist for Spreckels Sugar Company (sugarbeets) and later led a program to reduce pesticide use in public schools and day care centers with Cal EPA. Recently retired, I spend my free time making artful wooden spoons from reclaimed, found, pruned, or gifted woods (sometimes purchased!), like mango, walnut, olive, almond, manzanita, and macadamia. I also maintain an interest in agriculture, plants and the natural world, by making native bee nesting houses (the bees do not sting), and display/cutting boards. I enjoy turning wood into functional art. Art with a purpose. Uniquely artistic pieces that can't be duplicated and that are not mass produced.
