I’ve been creating Figurative Sculpture since I was seven years old. Of all the different creative work I do, sculpting the figure is the closest to my heart.

The endless variations of human form never ceases to fascinate and engage me. I’m not interested in producing a mechanical duplication of the body but rather in allowing the feeling of inspiration I derive from my subject to express itself through my hands and to capture the energy and movement that emanates from the subject.

Working from the model or my imagination I try to create an intimacy that invites the viewer into the private world of each piece.

The Dance Company

In this intimate and exciting series of Limited Edition Sculptures I have tried to recreate the illusion of movement and beauty of the Dancer’s world. Each piece is originally sculpted in wax, then cast in Bronze, using the lost wax process, and (as are all my Bronzes) finished with a museum quality patina. They range in size from 7” to 12” and visually interact beautifully or can stand (or sit) alone. Other sculptures from this series will be offered as they become available.

Collage with Cast Paper

This series of work is involved with the combination of three dimensional and flat surfaces: creating a special interaction and tension between these two elements. The three dimensional aspects are usually very realistic. I’ve worked on different series in this genre. The two examples shown are from my Jazz Portrait Series. In this series I have tried to express visually the excitement and spatial qualities I feel from the music and to honor and document some of the great legends if American Jazz.
