Although I majored in art at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, it was not until years after I graduated that I came to the realization that I wanted to spend my life sculpting. I made the decision to dedicate my time to the mastery of this art form. I sought out a local sculptor named Nick Legeros, who was teaching foundry at The Minnetonka Center for the Arts. I told him I would work for him for free for two years if he would teach me all he knew. He excepted my offer and I embarked on my apprenticeship, and later my career as a sculptor and a teacher of bronze casting.
Most of my recent sculptures have been created for commisssions. I strive to capture the beauty, grace and emotion that difines the essence of all living beings. My clients and I work together to identify the emotion they want communicated through their piece and I bring that forth. My work has become about uplifting the spirit.
