Jim Barker has followed his family's interest in fine woodworking and has been producing works for the past five years. His recent work includes a series of carved entry doors with west coast plant motifs and Japanese inspired furniture pieces in collaboration with designer Alan Graves.

"I enjoy finding the unique character in a piece of wood, and presenting it without embellishment, to let the natural beauty speak for itself. The addition of a CNC router in the shop has allowed me to expand my explorations in creating organic forms in furniture and doors."

Jim owns and operates Wood'N Art Studio and can be contacted by phone, fax, or email.
