Beauhaven Photo Gallery
Our homes are not simply a shelter with furnishings to
accommodate our needs. A critical part of how we enjoy are lives has to do
with the accessories that we use to make our surroundings "ours". Whether
it be home or office, the items we see and feel (or hear) have a great deal to
do with who we are. They fill our lives with joy and emotional comfort and
they provide an introduction for friends and associates to what
makes us "tick".
Some items are on display at ChathamArts, 115
Hillsboro, St., Pittsboro, NC.

complete with face and bezel providing a more finished look.

In early 2007, I was asked by my good friend, Luna
Mountainsea, to provide and install a frame for a commissioned glasswork she was
creating for a local doctor. Made from hard maple and fitted into an
existing window space, the frame discretely locks in this exquisite glass art.

simple puzzle was made for my grandson with family pictures on opposite side of

An older child could have as many as six pictures included.) Notice the
rich color and grain pattern of the red-dyed sweet gum used for the puzzle tray.
