John Matthews – Tribute

John died in January 2021. As a couple, we worked in the ‘Shopudio’- which we built together and where I continue to paint.

He was very creative and always busy with his hands.  He was never happier than being in his Woodworking Shop.  He went in there first thing every morning to check, smell the sawdust, run his hand over whatever he was working on, and marvel.

Many of us are lucky enough to have some of his creations – driftwood boxes, walking sticks, or fine live-edge furniture, and it is a constant reminder of a dear man who is missed every day.
