Originally from Wisconsin, I started producing sculpture over 50 years ago. I have tried most different kinds of materials along the way starting with junk which I really loved, to welded steel which was my choice for many years while living in San Francisco.
After that, I started working with glass for a long time while living in Costa Rica and Panama. After a 10 year break away from regularly producing art work of any kind (my son Tyler came along) I started to produce in clay when I moved back to the U.S in Florida. I continued with the "Titan Series" and a few pieces from the “Tower Series”.
It seemed to be enough for me at the time, but in the last year I felt I needed to
return to what I knew best.....metal. I have a larger studio now and am comfortable working in it. So I am continuing with the "Tower Series". The new Towers are made from copper scrap and copper tubing.
I will also continue with the "Titan Series" series but I plan on producing them in plate aluminum or stainless steel. I might even do some bronze or aluminum casting.
