Ask the ArtisanCelebration is a joyful expression of craftsmanship and color, brought to life in sugar maple and finished entirely by hand. Carefully carved from solid maple, the platter’s broad, graceful form highlights the wood’s natural warmth while providing a canvas for intricate hand-painted detail.
Radiating patterns and thoughtfully placed accents of color draw the eye toward the center, where a subtle focal element anchors the design and adds depth and intention. The painted motifs feel rhythmic and festive, echoing moments of gathering, tradition, and shared stories.
Both functional and sculptural, Celebration is equally at home displayed as a statement piece or used as a serving platter for special occasions. It reflects the time, skill, and artistry of its maker—an heirloom-quality work that brings character, artistry, and a sense of occasion to any space.
A self-taught, second generation wood artisan, Keoni Carlson’s work explores shape, texture, color, and complex patterns. His work reimagines wood as woven and beaded basketry inspired by Native American storytelling, legend, and mythology. Keoni takes simple, functional shapes and transforms them into touchable illusions that blur the craft/fine art distinction. Keoni uses fire, ink, and sharpened steel to create his pieces, which are story-driven. As he carves and colors, the narrative emerges.
Wood art is the tree that lives on the warmth and shade and protection sustained and brought inside. Listen well and the wood will speak.
