As I was finishing up a stainless exhaust system for my ‘71 Harley, the left over pieces were pushed aside to make room on the bench. All of a sudden those pieces became my main focus. It’s funny how a clear mind “bench” can show the world your true heart. I knew upon completing this…

An attempt at something a little more representational, America’s Cup is heat colored stainless steel with a wood base. From different angles it appears to be listing from the force of the wind in its sail. It stands 7 feet tall.

My favorite material and finish is stainless polished to mirror. Different contours and shapes reflecting the light, bending the light ray, causes true, distorted, and even upside down reflections. Invert is a 14 inch tall investigation into these phenomenons.

Even though there are similarities between Romantic and Romance, they are very different. Romantic is 65 inches tall and was commissioned as a mutual 37 year wedding anniversary present. Now that one of them has passed, the other has expressed many times how much the piece means.

Go Figure is a commissioned piece in front of an LA Fitness in Oro Valley, AZ. In the fitness communities there are many phrases that depict the act of “working out”. The bottom line is, to do so you are trying to improve your figure. Go Figure has different shaped elements, all with slender mid…

Family is the first piece that I created in 2 scales. I made the small one first to get the general idea, then created the larger (6.5 foot tall) version. I use what is closest to me for inspiration as most artists do, and when making the small Family, my daughter had just been born.…

Continuing my attempt at the 3 phases of a romantic relationship, after the courtship, you have Family. In this piece four members of the family have contact with one another except the siblings. The polished stainless finish allows every viewer to see themselves in their family. At 38 inches tall it is a perfect piece…

Made of laminated plywood, Link is my effort at a very interesting process I saw. Having absolutely no direction or idea at the beginning I think it feels like a very large cast iron chain link, hence the name. The blue die was not popular until after the finished piece was revealed. It measures 53…

As an abstract artist many of my pieces can fit different needs with a slight adjustment in narrative. Overcome is a perfect example. Originally designed for a small Arizona town, then reconstituted for a hospital in the Las Vegas valley. Two aged steel helix designs offer the idea of a way to get up and…

Fabricated stainless steel, Blue Fin is designed to have an aquatic feel. The hand blown glass spheres are a representation of bubbles to add to the water theme. Blue Fin is 34 inches tall.
