“Wood has been central to civilization for tens of thousands of years. It has provided our shelter, our weapons, our tools and our toys. Even more today, in a world of steel, cement, and plastics, the sight and touch of wood connects us with the souls of our ancestors. We cannot truly live without it. “Since my childhood, I have been in awe of wood's many colors, grains, and characters. With such a powerful medium, my need as an artist is to combine the raw beauty of nature with the skilled craftsmanship learned by generations of wood workers before me. Based on traditional designs, my pieces seem familiar, yet fresh; common, yet unique. For my art to succeed, it must forge a link between nature and mankind as well as a bridge from the past into the future.” --Brad Stevenson
