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 sculpture 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:
