Artist Statement

(Youngest Artist at the Yates House)

I like to create things with exotic woods, acrylics and deer antler from around the world. I use a band saw, drill press and lathe to make pens, pencils and all kinds of desk accessories. I try to invent different shapes and use many kinds of woods to give the best variety. This has been a great hobby for me.

I started making pens on a lathe at my friend’s birthday party. His dad has a workshop and this was the birthday activity for many years. Now my dad and I have a little workshop of our own. I have enjoyed selling my pens at many farmers markets. At each market we have made some improvements and I have learned a lot. We like talking to people about what they want and try to make pieces that are interesting.

Most of these become a gift to someone special.
