ABOUT THE ARTIST
My functional wood art has been featured at Gallery M in Half Moon Bay and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts. If you have questions or are interested in a design I would love to hear from you.
MASTER CRAFTSMAN
WOODWORKER GENE KELLY
My interest in woodworking was sparked at an early age, and I began using tools actively while taking wood-shop while in Junior High School in the Los Angeles area. In the search for guidance in all things woodworking I have come across several people that have served as mentors, some knowingly and others unknowingly -- the unknowing ones have been in the form of the many books and videos that I have devoured over the course of the last 45 years.
My interests in wood reach across the spectrum of the art form to include wood turning, with a special interest in segmented turned artifacts; furniture design and construction; sculpture; and carving. Most of what I have offered for sale has been designed and created through my imagination; however, I welcome the collaboration that generally accompanies the direct commission. I am currently licensed as a General Contractor in the State of California. In this capacity I have enjoyed designing and constructing custom homes, kitchens, full walk-in closets, and wine cellars/rooms.
