A little bit about my sculptures

My sculptures are unique contemporary bronzes that capture fresh new images--serious or whimsical, figurative or symbolic--in a way that makes them feel timeless.  My goal is to create forms that feel like something you could never have imagined but yet has been here forever.

Each is one-of-a-kind.  Unlike most bronze sculptors, I do not make duplicates.

When I sculpt, I try to force myself to let go of familiar, easy, and comfortable references as much as possible—trying to create images that do not come automatically to my mind.  My approach is essentially assemblage, where I make the pieces I assemble with rather than finding them.  To me, creativity is about making novel connections and inferences in the moment, so I compose in 3-D, with no preconceived notions about what I'm trying to create.  It requires seeing things afresh, leaning as little as possible on preformed expectations.  I am very inspired by weathered and rustic natural forms that look like time has taken its toll.  Those aspects all come together in my sculptures.
