As a young child I loved to make sand castles on the beach. But, people never recognized my castles because they were really my first abstract sculptures.
I have worked in almost every material, form, and scale; from carved stone to neon, argon or mercury gas-filled blown glass; from classical clay figures to welded or cast metal abstract objects; from jewelry size sculptures to monumental forty-foot fabric installations and landscape garden designs. This encompassing experience drew me back to the oldest material of Man, the one that I continue to find the most expressive...

My work includes stone wall hangings, primitive stone carvings, fountain sculptures, and my trademark curvilinear pieces. When people hear beautiful music they feel it. I want people to feel the same harmony when they see and touch my sculpture. I want them to experience the visual melody and to enjoy the touch of stone that is smooth & silky, and to explore the partnership of wonder that man & nature can create.
Many people respond to an exhibit of modern art by exclaiming, "my two year old could do that!" When people see my art I want them to say, "How does he do that?" I do not want my work to reflect the ugliness of life. I want to give you a good feeling; enriched and stimulated by the beauty of life.
