I am a sculptor of meticulously-crafted fine art bronze figures that represent the expression of my personal struggles and triumphs. Though I was a 2002 Yale graduate with early-in-life success in business and teaching, I was tragically overcome by a long-lasting bout with both physical and mental illness in 2013. Consequently, I fully embraced my calling as an artist and embarked on a daily quest to sharpen my skills and message. Now, I am an emerging artist with little time to waste, so I continuously strive to improve through studies with successful and locally renowned sculptor, Sam Nettles, and the fabulous instructors at Pensacola State College.
With this new 'language', the use of well composed human elements with easily accessible and atavistic themes, I am now able to express complicated feelings that were previously too large for words. By employing a grand and weighty medium such as bronze, at a scale that is large enough to steal the attention of the room, I am able to match the primal nature of my themes with the right vehicle for delivery. Application of a unifying patina to emphasize the importance of each well observed contour and carefully conceived form is an important element of my finished pieces. The observation of detail, investment in knowledge, and dedication to the craft of figure study shines through in my work. The beauty of my sculptures is both elemental, in its use of easy to appreciate themes and approachable human figures, and also extravagant, in the employment of the highest quality craftsmanship and the finest materials. Appropriate for both indoor and outdoor display, to collect one of my bronzes is to own an enduring symbol of my personal story, one that can be enjoyed and shared for many lifetimes.
