"Inspiration is everywhere ​and it's the task of the artist ​to recognize and unveil it"

Award Winning Artisan - Stuart Dittbrenner

My projects involve the violent interaction of raw materials, tools and techniques of woodworkers and other artisans to generate the forms I'm seeking, keeping the qualities of the material integrated into the design. In this way the organic life of the tree influences the finish and my creation extends the life of the tree indefinitely.

​The challenge is to make sense of the material and convey to the observer my vision of form, space, texture, color and motion. To that goal I constantly seek to challenge the limits of my skills and imagination. 

"To start with an inspiration, add raw materials and manipulation and progress through stages to a conclusion, this is my passion as an artist and craftsman."
