While this web site is primarily dedicated to portraying examples of Art Nouveau Furniture it will also show other sources of inspiration behind the development of my design ideas. Certainly, I have been greatly inspired by the Art Nouveau movement and in particular the furniture of Louis Majorelle. I also enjoy the style of Antonio Gaudi and traveled to Barcelona in 1985 especially to view his fascinating architecture. Maori carving of New Zealand, where I lived for a year and the sumptuous organic intricacy of Celtic metal work and jewelry inspired a profound interest and recognition that these instinctive and traditional peoples had a lively intimacy with nature which profoundly influenced their crafts. The Celts followed intuitively the forms and formative processes found everywhere in nature. Beyond these rich studies the major influence behind the compositions of my sculpted furniture remains the extensive art training I received at Emerson College in England.

(This is an interest only website. None of these pieces are for sale. I do not own any of the furniture pieces shown here. I wish I did. Many people have contacted me wanting to buy the Giacometti table. Unfortunately, I do not have one)
