With a keen sense of high style and perfect proportions, these pieces are the result of a decades-long study of art and architecture that when combined creates an entirely new meaning of art fusing with furniture.

Local hardwoods: walnut, cherry, hickory, and maple sculpted without power tools, sandpaper, or fasteners.  This is the meaning of hand made.  Silva Decorus is Latin for Wood Finely Formed, in reference to the entire process from seedling to tree to lumber to finished piece.

Raised in Iowa and now residing in Wisconsin, I spent my formative years studying the Prairie School and wandering the East Building of the National Gallery. From architecture to 20th century painters and sculptors to the natural world all assembled in a uniquely new and modern aesthetic.
