ABOUT / CONTACTING

I have worked as a sculptor for most of my life. Thinking in a three-dimensional space before I could draw. My first sculpture sold in 1967 in my fathers gallery (The Bliss) in Capitola California. I was in 3rd. grade.

A lot has changed over the years except that what began as a fascination of space, form and time has now developed into something akin to awe. The pursuit of new ideas notwithstanding, each sculpture I build becomes yet a further exploration of things I thought I knew. I am, in the words of the poet Rilke, ". . . always a beginner."

My formal 2 and 3 dimensional education was in Junior Colleges throughout Central and Northern California. I would interview the instructors prior to be sure the growth and development would take place. I studied under artists such as Mayo (Mixed Media), Nahsaui (Watercolor), and Williams (Casting, Sculpture). I have a Degree in Graphic Communication, Business Management (1996) obtained in Santa Barbara California because of the need to learn something that could allow me earn a Corporate type job - For the Money.

I create artwork because it is the only thing I do that creates a reaction from those that view it. A reaction that is Visible, that their life has been paused for a section of time within their life span.
