OCEANS ONE SEA TURTLE
HOTEL RESORT - ATLANTIC BEACH, FL

I have been creating a plethora of unique,
freeform wall and free hanging sculpture formed of steam-bent hardwoods since 1990. I often custom color the light- weight
sculpture from subtle naturals to 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 where I studied geophysics. My art
career really began at UCLA, strolling through its sculpture gardens inspiring my many ubiquitousl creative
interests. Since, I have garnered numerous principal awards, including recent; both “Best of show”
