Welcome to my celebration of life! I sculpt all kinds of creations, using many different kinds of materials. Here, you will see some of my fun, large interactive Public Art sculptures that you can sit and visit with; I have sculpted fun, interactive sculptural areas around the country for both children and adults. My most well known interactive sculpture is Franz the Bear in Park City, Utah. Originally sculpted for the Olympic Park, he now sits on Main Street and welcomes visitors to sit with him, relax and have their picture taken! You can also find my public artwork in Albuquerque, NM, Gaithersburg, MD, Louisiana MO, Peoria, AZ and Longmont CO. Please contact me if you would like to see a sampling of these other images. I also sculpt individual smaller whimsical sculptures, as well as stand alone bronzes and reliefs.
Thank you for visiting and welcome!
