Artist Statement:
Since the beginning of
creation, the signature of an
Artist has been clearly seen
in all things. Nature’s
constructs may find
explanation through science,
but science can’t tell us
whether something is beautiful
or not.
The inherent mystic beauty of
the creation was delivered
with intention. Our desire ...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I was created to be an artist. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Beginning simply as an outlet for creative energy, sculpting avenued the way for the wonder of my
visions to become a reality. No other work of my hands had ever drawn so directly from desire.
Eventually, at any other use of a days time, I only longed to return to the studio. With my heart
needing my hands to create what my imagination aches to see, this hobby was begging to
become an occupation.
With my background in the mechanical and machinist trades, I developed my artist skills without
education or training. Working in my hometown of Rockford, IL as a machinist and machine tool
rebuilder, I found myself fascinated with industry and manufacturing. This prepared me for a
career as an on-site machinist. I then traveled the world for six years working in heavy industries
such as; steel mills, paper mills, mining, bridge/infrastructure, heavy military equipment, large
diesel engines, ships/submarine vessels, and fossil, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants.
With inspiration from life, love, the beauty in nature, and help from up above, I sow all that I am
into what I offer.
Sculpting by subtraction, all of my work begins from a single solid mass. Fallen trees are
resurrected into fine art, giving life to once living works of His art. |
