About the artist

“The best feeling is seeing a random, scrap piece of wood in the rough turned into a beautifully finished, one of a kind piece of art that lasts for years to come”. - Patty Snyder
History
As a kid, I worked in my dad’s shop helping him repair and restore antiques Black Forest cuckoo clocks. My father’s talent inspired me to explore my creativity with wood. Over the years, I’ve made tikis, a tiki bar, wooden wall art, charcuterie boards, epoxy river tables and coasters. I love taking a piece of wood and turning it into amazing artwork. The best feeling is seeing the finished product.
About the Woodwork
I believe that beauty exists in every natural element around us, and strive to bring that beauty to life through my unique approach to woodworking. I search out for local and exotic woods from downed and pruned trees, collecting random pieces of wood with unique grains, textures, and colors. I take these pieces and turn them into breathtaking works of art, using my creativity and skill to create them into stunning pieces that are truly one of a kind. I also bring in other elements, such as environmental friendly epoxy and sharks teeth, to create a multi-dimensional experience that takes you on a journey around the globe. I take pride in my ability to turn nature’s discards into something truly remarkable.
