Ghost Train

My "Ghost Train" is a multi award winning piece including several first place awards. It took over 25 layers and many hours to create what has been called a "magical" piece. The Orange Blossom Cannonball No. 2 is a wood burning steam engine which has been featured in many movies including "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney. This piece has been well received and accepted into several exhibits.

Garden Daydream

Can you find all 21 birds? This award winning piece has over 75 layers incorporated into it. I wanted to create a piece where the more you look at it the more you see. I hope you enjoy it!
