About

Wild Wood Originals, Greeneville, TN

  My art background started twenty-five years ago with my love for nature and a pocket knife. It went from very crude carvings to what you see now, all self taught. My art is made from all natural reclaimed materials, which I gather. Various types of wood and marble are used in conjunction with copper and glass. The wood stone and copper are then sculpted,ground and polished to become a one of a kind functional piece of art.

  My art has been awarded First place 2007 and The Purchasers award 2008 at the Piccolo Spoleto Art Show, Charleston S.C.; First Place at The Webb School of Art Art Festival, Bell Buckel TN. ; The Distinctive Quality Award, Virginia Highlands Festival, Abingdon Va. ; The Jurors Award at Arts on Ellisworth Shadyside, Elisworth IL. ; First Place at the Blue Plum Festival Johnson City TN.; Presidents Choice Award at Crozet Arts Festival, Crozet Va. ; Third Place at Bele Chere Ashville N.C.

  The Zac Brown Band displays my pieces of art as stage props at their Southern Ground Concert Series.
