My work was exhibited at the highly selective, juried Paradise City Arts Festivals which "showcase the  work of some of America's most prominent craftsmen and artists," in Marlborough, MA, Spring 2010, and in Northampton, MA, Fall 2009. My work was displayed in their publication, Spring 2010 Guide, as a "Show Stopper" feature and in their online slide show, "New Faces" (10th slide).

 
Among its many accolades, Paradise City was ranked #1 in American Style magazine’s 2008 Top Ten Arts Fairs and Festivals in America, and the Boston Globe has written, "the nation’s top artisans showing their wares," and "museum-quality fine arts and crafts."

In the woodworking field, I enjoy writing about the methods and skills of the craft. You can find my articles in Popular Woodworking magazine (November 2007, August 2008, November 2009, February 2010, and August 2010), Woodwork magazine (Winter 2012), and Fine Woodworking magazine (January/February 2012). My woodworking tips are in many other issues of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking magazines. 
These excellent publications do a great service in advancing the art and craft of woodworking. Print and digital back issues are available from their websites.

Here is the printed highlight of an interview in which I discuss my work with Kristine Lundblad of the MetroWest Daily News. It's a nice quick summary of what I do.

My work has been selected for display in the nationally popular publications Woodwork magazine (December 2007) and American Woodworker magazine (July 2008).*    *    *    *    *


It was a pleasure demonstrating woodworking tools and techniques and meeting the many woodworkers who attended the Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Events in Boxborough, MA, 2009 and in Sturbridge, MA, 2008. The wealth of expertise available from my fellow demonstrators enabled me to pick up some good tips as well.
