Woodturner Felicia Gowenius
Tell us about yourself:
I am 22 years old and I see woodturning as my hobby. I live with my boyfriend, two cats and a turtle on my family farm where we also have cattle. I am a nursing student and have worked as an animal caretaker at the animal hospital before. Art and animals are my biggest interest! Turning gives me a well needed break when I study!
What is your background and how/why did you get into woodturning?
I started turning when I went to an art school a year ago. Lucky for me, my dad is a carpenter and has a lathe that I can use. My grandfather was an art teacher for many years and he is a big inspiration as well. Turning is an addiction!

Favorite species of wood?
How did you develop your woodturning career?
I am still learning so most of my pieces are far from perfect. I tend to fall in love with the ones that comes from a beautiful piece of wood. Spalting, grain colour etc.
