My Story

Every walk begins with a walk in the woods

The Walk

There’s a quiet magic in walking through the woods — the soft crunch of leaves, the scent of pine, the light filtering through the trees. Then, you round a bend… and there it is: a waterfall.

That moment — the power, the calm, the unexpected beauty — is what inspires every piece I create. I want each layer of my art to hold a little of that feeling. A pause. A breath. A quiet “wow.” 🌿

Why I Create

I started Creative Layered Art not to follow trends, but to share something real.
I build each piece layer by layer — sanding, staining, fitting, and finishing by hand.

Every line, grain, and curve tells a story. My hope is that when you see the final piece, you feel that same peace and strength I feel standing by the waterfall.

What Guides My Work

🌲 Craftsmanship matters. Every piece is made start to finish in my workshop.

🌿 Wood tells a story. I highlight its natural grain, texture, and warmth.

🫶 Art should feel personal. Each layer is chosen with intention.

Made to last. Built with quality and care, not mass produced.

From My Hands to Your Home

When you support Creative Layered Art, you’re supporting a real maker — not a factory line.
Each piece carries a little bit of my heart and a quiet piece of the woods.
I hope it brings that same calm beauty into your space.
