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.
