About Author

Joined: Jan-08-2025

My art work is very much a part of me. They are my offspring, I love them. I usually have to be talked into letting them be purchased.
My sculptures are hand crafted and one of a kind. I do all the work on my sculptures alone, unlike Rodin (one of my favorites) who required a small army to complete his work. However, Henry Moore is my favorite. I corresponded with him from my studio in Mexico.
I now consider that the ability to create my works of art is a gift from God. However, I didn’t always believe this.
I do not draw or sketch before starting a sculpture. I simply grab a tool and begin the work. During the work process of seeing a piece of art come into existence, I receive my fulfillment. The news clippings, the interviews, the gala openings, and all that stuff, I do not get satisfaction from, nor enjoy
Because of my various procedures, materials, and tools I’m usually working on many pieces at a time. I can just flow from piece to piece and pick up hours, days or months later exactly where I left off. This is a rare blessing indeed.
Almost all of my work tells a story. For example, my polished bronze series depicts the life of my first wife and family. The series of cacti was from the years of my studio in Mexico, that only surfaced fifteen years later. Additionally, my wood block prints of sandstone carvings of India were created twenty years after my association with them.
My present dream is developing an art park on my sixteen acres of wood in Western New York.
