Ryan Jones

Woodworking major at Maine College of Art and Design

Woodworking is my passion and I hope to continue to improve upon my current skills and solidify a personal style. I enjoy experimenting with multiple species of wood, styles of furniture and combining aspects of styles with each other. Ultimately, I hope to cement myself as a furniture maker and sell custom furniture. However, I feel that I am a very well rounded artist and consider myself to be accomplished in many other artistic mediums as well, as you will see when viewing my portfolio. I appreciate you taking the time to review my art and hope that you enjoy what I have created over the past four years.Cell: 978-995-3163
