Prominent features include a singular oven and noose within a background of religious iconography. Empty windows on the building suggest a place of emptiness and a quality of unseen suffering.

The couple discovered an arrowhead during an outdoor excursion early in their relationship. Years later, the arrowhead is a talisman of love and commitment between the two. I found it intriguing that a small and ancient tool would, hundreds of later, become a symbol of their unity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537115454656-PRTXI944M0BYKP534MF4/man-goose.JPG ALL WORKS - Boy With a Goose This bird is nearly more than the boy can handle.

This sculpture uses an electric light to provide a sense of intimacy between the mother and her infant child. People need their memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1539963161840-9ZKHOENG5SNJ5R1N9Z5W/DSC_0109.JPG ALL WORKS - In Bloom I picked up these plow boards from a dairy barn that was being dismantled in St. Albans, Mo. in the 1980s. Years later, these metal petals gave rise to this multi-bloom perennial that weathers every season. Other flower parts include gears, ball bearings and the steering column of a model T car.

Although the tractor has evolved over time from its original design, it still represents the American farmer’s intimate proximity to the earth.

Its simplicity of form is congruent with its raw conquering of the earth.

The tremendous bravery and suffering in trench warfare that these soldiers endured should never be forgotten. I wanted to make the figure ghost-like in order to elicit a haunting feeling to show the lasting toll that all wars have, both physically and psychologically, on human beings. 51” height 18” length 11”width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1540419236375-484AL355N7Y7Y3X9N0PJ/Torah.jpg ALL WORKS - torah This sculpture, a Torah-Menorah, is the first of three interpretations of the iconic Menorah design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1540419914415-QYM4MLHL980VTICSCV0W/Fallen+Angel+copy.jpg ALL WORKS - weeping angel Though many may feel that angels don’t exist, here’s one who acutely weeps over the human condition. The book represents mankind’s history of sorrow and horror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537115485026-0XUKERSX0TEBUQHNW7VP/man-platter-w-ball.JPG ALL WORKS - man holding ball on platter This sculpture shows the human quality of sharing or serving others, using a simple and parsimonious approach to describe higher order human behavior.

By placing him in a garden of flowers— a sanctuary of beauty, I hoped to encourage people to view our livestock, on which we so depend, in a manner that is dignified and worthy of respect. Dimensions: 21” height 12” length 19” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537115211150-10M4XZCSHCRO4G90TWHZ/figure-sitting.JPG ALL WORKS - Meditation A figure, arms outward in circular fashion, rests on a bed of sharp metal, suggesting the dynamic power of a synchronized mind and body to create a sense of strength and calm. 8” height 5” length 2” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537115601134-DYD63GE6P4E0RU3UWGKG/pipe-figure.JPG ALL WORKS - Mother & Infant My intent is to capture one of the most natural and instinctive human postures - a mother holding her baby. Because this is such an intimate and gentle connection, I was surprised by what the simplicity of the original pipe piece lent in creating this expression of closeness. Dimensions: 10” height 4” length 4” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537114860890-SVYYDI7KZY4D3YDO9VKE/circus-car.JPG ALL WORKS - The rolling Ark of the covenant Although no one knows where the Ark is, or exactly what it looks like, it has been said that the Ark has traveled through distant lands. Hence, I’ve given the Ark wheels. This Ark is adorned in hieroglyphic-like imagery. Dimensions: 10.5” height 6” length 2” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537115102513-896CLY41525UIYZZ3Z3X/cowboy-full.JPG ALL WORKS - Pistoleer Extraordinaire Richard “Dead-Eye Dick” Diamond Beginning with the early Westerns, films, and dime novels of my youth, I’ve never lost my fascination for this part of American history so filled with the romance of legend and myth. I wanted to create a sculpture that would embody the mythical spirit of the folkloric gun slinger - a lone figure, half calm and half crazed, rustic yet swaggerly, and ready for action. Dimensions: 19” height 10” length 4” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1539963493590-UZHG9DU71Q8Y5H8CIGAD/lunartickings.jpg ALL WORKS - lunARTICKINGS This is a very large-scale outdoor sculpture that slyly implies the old myth that gazing at the Man In The Moon will lead to becoming a “lunatic.” The piece has many parts that move. If you look carefully, you will see the face of the Man In The Moon. We should all acknowledge the many earthly influences created by Our Moon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1537116644431-MVPZ3PEBGQZT13YBNQ45/chain-gang.jpg ALL WORKS - chain gang This is a welded steel ensemble that contains nine figures. The striping for the uniforms was machined, and the leg irons, hands and waist chains were constructed of chain and 4” ball bearings. All nine figurines rest on a rectangular steel base. 55” length 17” height (figures) 11” height base 9” width https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1540420004552-SKN9L8DV6369W12277GI/Moonlight+over+Pyramids+copy.jpg ALL WORKS - moonlight over Pyramids This is a hanging sculpture that is meant to evoke a mirage-like quality of the moon ascending over the pyramids. The geometrics of figure and ground evoke a sense of ancient timelessness and space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b981dda12b13f09d5c0fffd/1628207034617-3LS2G8PV9VMOYBBCVXQ3/Cookielady.jpg ALL WORKS - Cookie Lady The Cookie Lady was inspired by the moms, aunts, grannies, and the generous neighbor from childhood who could be counted on to send love on a dessert plate filled with tastey delights.
