BIOGRAPHY
Presently I'm working in a well-equipped studio in my home in Northern Delaware. This allows me the satisfaction of being around my wife and kids while doing the work that I find most enjoyable. Nine out of ten days I am working on some form of sculpture be it commercial, private or speculative.
My career developed after spending 7 years apprenticing for the American sculptor Charles Parks. From him I learned the techniques that have served sculptors for centuries and still form the basis for contemporary sculpture.
Until that period I was involved in graphic art, and illustration. These years were important in forming an appreciation for 2 dimensional art and a preference for 3 dimensional art. There are many occasions where both disciplines merge.
My formal art training and degree were provided by the dedicated and patient instructors of the Atlanta College of Art. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I've been influenced by no less than 50 especially talented people since I first came to think of myself as an artist. I am trying my hardest to insure safe passage of all their collective wit and wisdom. Where it ultimately ends up has yet to be determined. |
