Since 1983 the artist has been
creating wonderful cast images in stone from completely original designs carved
from limestone and clay.
Initially, the artist's work was 2 dimensional, in
the form of illustrations for advertising. This was not the career of choice as
the dream was always to sculpt for a living. Do what makes you happy, has been
the artist's philosophy,
and so a stone carver emerged. Commissions from the National Cathedral in
Washington D.C., an ornament for the White House Christmas Tree, pieces in
permanent collections across the country all indicate the
artist's prolific nature.
For more than 2 years, the artist
sold hand carved originals at
juried shows and to fine galleries. When asked to put images into David Kay's
catalogue, the first cast piece was born.
There are
some 200 original designs.
The motivation for casting these works
is
a way to take an original carving that is well crafted and make it available to
thousands of people. Letters come from all over the world. They tell that
these sculptures make
people smile, which means they are sharing just a small part
of the joy felt in creating the pieces. The medium has to carry only one message,
that the process is a lot of fun and the final piece represents the best of
the artist.
