I love making and playing flutes! I make all of my flutes myself, from start to finish. I use a variety of hand and power tools to produce the best flutes I can. I make flutes one at a time, and each flute is unique. I don't use a template or pattern for my flutes. I make a limited number of flutes each year, because I don't want this joy to become work. 
I began making flutes in 1997. I have learned to make flutes through experimentation and the generous help of other flute makers. I have gradually increased my production to sell flutes through galleries, at shows, and over the Internet.
I make a range of flutes from a high E to a low F#. They are all tuned to concert pitch. I work in a variety of woods, and do inlays in stone, shell and wood. I have also developed a drone flute that is particularly comfortable for players with small hands. I am continually working to improve the sound quality of my flutes, and to develop new designs.
My flutes are based on a traditional Native American style. I am not Native American, so my flutes are not promoted as "Native American Flutes." Images of my work can be seen on my web site at http://www.dreamwindflutes.com.
I am also a flute player. I have performed at coffeehouses and galleries, as well as the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. I have produced one solo CD and collaborated on several others.
I was honored when one of my flutes won the flutemaker's competition at the Musical Echoes event. I am a member of the International Native American Flute Association, the Georgia and Carolinas Flute Circles and the Southern Highland Crafts Guild.
