For as long as I can remember I have
been drawing, painting, or in some way creating things.
With my sculpture I enjoy the challenge of taking hard,
unyielding steel and turning it into flowing shapes. Of late, there have
been two themes running through all of my work: a ribbon effect and strong
S-curves.
Whether it is a horse, a dragon or a painting of koi, the
ribbons and curves are always there.
Currently I do all my work in stainless
steel. The material is cut with a plasma torch . Pieces are buffed and
polished before assembly. The work is welded with a TIG torch. The sculpture
can be displayed outside without rusting. Bases are usually granite or
marble. At times wood components are added to give the piece additional
flair. Many of the new pieces combine knives, forks, spoons and sheet steel-
all stainless.
The paintings are alkyd oils on board or canvas
I hope you enjoy my work.
