I have been creating a plethora of unique, freeform wall and free hanging sculpture
formed of steam-bent hardwoods since 1990. I custom color the light- weight, modern artform in subtle naturals
and intense vibrant colors. I have a great interest in constructivism of all kinds; as sculpture, or even architecture; challenging,
and exploring traditional material bounds. My greatest interest involves the study of surfaces, especially those alluding
to a four-dimensional topological source, or extrapolation. I create sculpture for public, corporate, hotel/resort, casino,
cruise ship, academic facilities, and numerous private residences. I specialize in personal service teaming with owners, architects,
designers and consultants to achieve a symbiosis with the architecture, and interior design. My unique use of bent wood as
sculpture often becomes a compelling icon identifying its edifice with a lasting impression. I received my
undergraduate degree at The University of California - Los Angeles. My art career really began at UCLA,
strolling through its sculpture gardens inspiring my many ubiquitous creative interests. Since, I began exhibiting at art
shows, galleries and museum shows garnering numerous principal awards, including: both “Best of show” and First
Place -Sculpture at “The Affaire” -Beverly Hills, CA, “Best of Sculpture” Portland, OR Art Festival
and The Colorado Art Festival. My interest in doing larger projects led me into the public, corporate and
hospitality field where I thrive in a variety of, often, challenging and rewarding creative projects. My work resides in private residential collections,
corporate, and public sites including:
