Commissioned Works

My professional life until a few years ago was centered on chemistry. After seven years of researching at Cornell and consulting for the chemical industry, I began to look for something more intimate and rewarding.

I took a chance and threw out conventional wisdom and decided to try sculpting. I took a job at a bronze foundry and learned from the ground (clay) up. I fell in love with the work and have never regretted it.

Sculpting for me is pure delight. When I work, I have no sense of time. I can begin sculpting in the evening and in what seems to be only a few hours, realize the strange light outside is actually the dawn and I'm hungry!
