inveterate artist whose career spans more than fifty years. Sight, sound and touch
make up my palette. For me, "Art is the tangible revelation of what comes
from the soul in expressing the impressions of the senses." I am constantly
interpreting my surroundings for situations that can be portrayed in three dimensions.
Tagged as a Renaissance man, my life as a veteran, father of seven children and
erstwhile widower remarried has provided me with a broad reservoir of knowledge
about human nature. It is from this reservoir of human experiences that I find
artistic expressions of ideals, opinions and humor. Humor is very much a part
of my life. Were I to lose the ability to see whimsy in life's ironies, I could
not survive. Everything I do is with singularity and great intensity. Sculpture
is the foremost passion in my life.
Works
varying in style from contemporary, whimsical and representational, reveal a sagacious
artist in the observation of the human kind. All my sculptures have a story to
tell. They are personal statements on all manner of things that affect my view
of life. From the moment of conception of an idea to its completion as a finished
work, I am in the viewer's eye forming shapes I sense will clearly convey the
feelings and message in my subject. If I have to describe that message or feeling
to be understood, then I have failed as an artist. |

portraits are my forte. My portraits are not just dimensionally correct forms,
but are the product of observations of the subject's inner image. The essence
of my subject's countenance such that they are forever alive is made manifest.
They are figuratively made immortal.
Studies
include the Museum of Fine Art, Houston, Texas, Famous Artist's School, Westport,
Connecticut, Glendale Chiropractic College (Human anatomy) and a degree in Fine
Arts from Chouinard's Art Institute, Los Angeles. Member San Diego Art Museum
