The work of Phil Brown reflects a quiet reverence for the material he uses. He has found his unique approach to his work by allowing the shapes to flow out of the grain pattern of the tree.

The north coast of California is home to some of the finest woodworkers in North America. Richness and diversity is celebrated in this special showing of work by four individuals who derive inspiration from this region. The flowing lines of John Onstine's work contrast with the solid case pieces of John Pinzer, while the play of form and light of Richard Taylor's scuptural inspired pieces are far removed from that of the forms of Rick Turk. Together these four artists have offered a collection of pieces showing the richness of their material and the attention to detail that distinguishes their accomplishments.
