“I have always been intrigued by the beauty, flow and elasticity of the human body. To see a figure bend, stretch, pull and twist is a true wonder of nature that has always stimulated my imagination.”
To make the transition from imagination to reality, I began to study with Peter Pacquette, who taught me the techniques of working with clay and metal, as well as welding, soldering and shaping rigid materials, the basic skills necessary to create a work. I was then privileged to come under the tutelage of Frank Eliscu. He is an internationally known sculptor who has many important municipal, commercial and private commissions to his credit, including the Heisman Trophy. I have studied at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston, MA and am a member of the National Sculpture Society.
“For me, the action and interaction of the body is the primary force that I try to convey. To achieve this I am continually working on my techniques and knowledge of the anatomy, body motion and fluidity.”
Each of my sculptures is cast in bronze at the Bronzart Foundry in Sarasota, Florida, The Green Foundry in Eliot, Maine and at Cast Glass Forms in Idaho. The edition limits are between seven and twelve pieces to assure that the detail of each piece is properly rendered. I’m currently exhibiting my work in galleries in Martha’s Vineyard, Boston, Palm Beach and Washington, D.C. I hope you will enjoy seeing these works and share in the pleasure I’ve had in creating them.
