About The Artist…
.
 Artist
Statement: Inspired by nature’s peace and beauty,
and life’s joy generated by my friends and family, I
create sculptures which convey the excitement of life
within my soul. I start with a cold gray piece of
steel; twisting and turning the metal until it develops
a personality of its own. When the image resonates with
me, it is complete and I turn the sculpture out to the
woods to rust. As the work slowly develops its warm
patina from nature, I search for the meaning that has
been transferred from my subconscious to the sculpture.
It is as much a journey for me to discover the meaning
as it is to fabricate the steel into art. It is my hope
the viewer will enjoy their own journey when considering
my sculptures.
