This week, I’ve been inspired by the craft of woodworking both personally and through readings.

I’ve stumbled upon the work of the late George Nakashima.

Known throughout the fine furniture and artistic community as a craftsman that that is inspired by and embraces nature. Nakashima and now his daughter Mira, carefully select trees and used the uniquely natural features to design furniture pieces such as tables and chairs. His story and process are worth reading and shed light on how we can pursue and cherish artwork from local craftsman.

As I work with clients and design my home, I’m pushing myself to make selections that are not found in the everyday big box store. Let’s look at what our craftsman are offering and how their art can be integrated into the design of our everyday lives.

A little tribute to my parents, whom with my mother’s artwork and my fathers woodworking crafted us up a “real fish” for our basement bar. I’m challenging myself to start looking to the next level of artistic creation and figure out a way to become part of a “process.”
