About Me

Matthew D. Holtmeier is an artist and woodworker crafting under the name Gathering Splinters. His artistry and craftsmanship are heavily influenced by his love of all things fantasy and many hours spent playing roleplaying games.

Matthew brings this love of gaming and fantasy into his woodworking and crafting of things like dice trays and keepsake boxes. Aside from functionality and durability, beauty and artistry are a main focus of his work. In the past, his woodworking has incorporated embellishments, such as pyrography and carving, which helps set it apart from other crafters.

His artwork is fantastically abstract, ranging from minimalist lines to elaborate designs – each with a story waiting to be told.
