I draw my imagery from the world of nature and life experience. The fusion of my man and nature is a predominate theme in my work. The aesthetic lines of the human figure and the celebration of human emotion are vehicles I use as subject matter in my compositions.
My travels as a child helped me to experience many diverse people and cultures, which has brought vision to my work.
I create bronze images through the lost wax method. It takes 7 steps to form these elegant bronzes. Each piece has its own unique patina or coloring. I usually do limited editions of 10 to 20. I take pride in the fact that my images are created by the method used by artisans from centuries past.
