BIRD CARVING
"Swimming Mallard" After graduating HS in 1980, I was a little lost. But I had the idea I would carve waterfowl, and sell them to the tourists. After a while, learning by doing. Pam a family friend, showed my carved birds to the Chruchill Gallery in NBPT.
WOOD SCULPTURE
"Wind Blown" After I stopped carving birds, I started doing Carpentry, leaving no time for Art. Until a trip to New Mexico inspired me to start on these Organic Sculptures. I was trying to keep things simple, after so much detailed work.
BRONZE SCULPTURE
"Moore is Hardly Enough" After having some success with the wood sculptures. I started thinking I could make money by casting my work. Mass Art had a foundry class at the time, so I worked very hard to take advantage of those classes..
STONE & BAS RELIEF
"Embrace" I didn't carve much stone, but I love the material.. I remember driving up to Vermont, and loading all this marble into my poor little Toyota, that I never used... I was also getting into Wall Sculpture, Bas Relief, so those are here as well.
FOOTWEAR
"Carved Foam Model" Started working at FILA as a Model Maker, after a pretty disappointing Art Show in 1997. My friend Alex worked there, and I knew the VP from around town. It was my first real job, and it kind of took over my life for a while.
POTTERY
"Garlic Keeper" I started pottery during a friendship with a potter.. I wasn't selling alot of sculpture, and pottery was shiny new, full of possibilities. So I fell into it.. Also, pottery can stand on it's own, as a functional Beautiful object, without so much salesmanship..
