I started practicing carpentry in 1974, but it was 15 years later I started to make sense out of "proportion", "line", "space", and "harmony". That's because I spent about 1200 hours in drawing classes at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. To be sure, I never learned to draw like Michelangelo, but I did find out how an artist sees the world, and that made all the difference.
Whether designing a living room bookcase, or restoring an antique doorway on Commonwealth Avenue, I have insights now that no one else could have without a Trained Artist's Eye.

Our bookcases are perennial favorites. We can adapt these units to almost any situation. But that's what Custom carpentry is all about, making your unit work for your space exactly the way you want it to. This gorgeous room, in the South End of Boston, is graced with some beautifully proportioned Cherry door and window trim and a paneled mantel.
These Cambridge clients were very much enamored of Bauhaus Architecture and the well known Post Modern artist Piet Mondrian. I too admire Mondrian and many of my own paintings share elements of his style and sense of Design. After our first meeting, I went shopping for different kinds of materials and colors that seemed to go with their decor.
