About
Two kids, one girl and one African American boy reaching for the future, the world. Representing a style of teaching. Installed at the Capitol Hill Montessori school in Washington DC
In my exploration of the figure I am really composing a reflection of the great beauty and the majesty of The figure itself and as such, it’s only natural that the honing of my craft is something that I do for the purpose of trying to be as faithful to that reflection and as honest in my response as I am humanly capable. I focus on monumental and heroic poses that exaggerate the figure. This gives me more latitude for a strong pose, and that is where I find the beauty. The figure is more than just a body in motion – it is also a mind at work. While the human body itself is beautiful, the mind affects body language, and the inner emotions can be realized with a gesture. I generally don’t concern myself with scale relationships within a sculptural piece in order to push the narrative, in that respect the image becomes a little surreal. I have received numerous museum sculpture awards. My hundreds of architectural sculptures adorn government buildings, and many other public spaces.
Combining Bronze and Lucite takes great deal of knowledge in mold making, shrink rates of materials and precision joining of organic shapes.

I sculpt the original figure, a plaster mold is made on the original sculpture. Slabs of textured clay with brick, lath ,gears or what ever are torn and pressed in layers into the figure mold, so that each torso is different. They are multiple originals within a Limited edition of that figure form.
