Having talent is like owning a huge warehouse filled with very cool things. To get things out of the warehouse an artist needs time, inspiration and patrons. Affording the light bill in the warehouse not to mention the heat is a very important thing! When collectors buy, it creates an opportunity for the artist to enter the building and look around for the next wonderful piece to bring out for the world to see.
Ideas and patronage are equally important as talent. Whether it's something simple as an exercise or an opportunity to push creative limits all commissioned work is very important. Collectors have lead me to creative places I would not have gone alone. That experience is a big part of what I love about creativity and quality relationships. If you have a creative project you would like us to consider please e-mail me.
As a young man I was told by many people I had a gift. When I needed to make a career choice I decided if I did not pursue an art career and share my gift it would be like a present left wrapped and unopened. That was thirty years ago. As a maturing artist I look forward to more success and working with more of the interesting types of people who have passed my way. We have one shot at life having a goal of creating significant work with respect to art and meeting cool people make my life a truly wonderful experience. Thanks to all of you who have given me the opportunity to keep creating. I'm very excited to see my works coming up on the secondary market. I would love to become collectable It's every artist's dream.
Although I started my career as a wood sculptor I work in many mediums. Images of selected artworks are shown in categories by clicking the button bars on either side of top of this page. To see the most images of my art work click the photo archive button on the top left. I have over 100 photos of my work in the archive.
This chair is made from branches and resin. The chair took 300 hours to create. The chair has a plywood core for structure which I glued ridged foam to and sculpted it to shape. The foam was covered with a resin and wood dust mix. The branches were attached one by one to the shell and flooded with filled and pigmented resin. Click on the Chairs Button Bar to the right then on the twig chair to see pictures of the Twig Chair in process it is really cool.
