MODERN MAQUETRY

Marquetry is the art of applying finely cut veneer to create decorative patterns and designs, traditionally used in cabinet making. In my practice, I explore this intricate process through contemporary 2D wall works, embracing the texture and precision of the medium to create abstract compositions inspired by land and cityscapes.

​

Since beginning marquetry in 2026, I’ve been drawn to the hands-on process—cutting, assembling, gluing, pressing, sanding, and polishing. It’s a methodical and deeply satisfying practice that continues to shape my evolving body of work.
