I love paradoxes and possibilities - embracing the juxtaposition of contrasting elements. Like the patterns of an oriental carpet, I juggle the geometric and biomorphic in my custom art sculptures.

I love paradoxes and possibilities - embracing the juxtaposition of contrasting elements. Like the patterns of an oriental carpet, I juggle the geometric and biomorphic in my custom art sculptures. The fractal rhythms in nature and manmade structures, including those created by Gil Reynolds, march across the landscape and find their way into my work. My passion for metalsculpturecustom and site specific art reflects this dynamic interplay.

I usually start with a small-scale version on my ideas called a maquette. The ideas flow and expand as I play with different design concepts. It is important to me the sculpture has all "A" sides, that is, that every viewing angle has a pleasing design.
These are some of my working maquettes. I's not uncommon to make 3-6 maquettes of one

These are some of my working maquettes. I's not uncommon to make 3-6 maquettes of one design as I fine tune the image. Every model is a maquette until the final image is realized.

I left the U of O art department in 1972 to pursue an apprenticeship at F&G Stained Glass. My journey in art continued at Western Oregon University (formerly OCE), where I began creating custom art sculptures and taking on commission stained glass projects. In 1978, I had the privilege of studying with the acclaimed German designer Ludwig Schaffrath at the Pilchuck Glass School, further enhancing my skills in site specific art. Additionally, I was inspired by the work of artists like Gil Reynolds, whose contributions to metalsculpturecustom have influenced many in the field.
