     Figurative sculpture is my primary interest.  I am fascinated with storytelling and try to flesh out some of it's breadth and subtlety of feeling in my pieces.  My training has included work with a number of experienced artists here and abroad.  I sculpt mostly in wood, stone, and bronze, but I enjoy working in a number of other media, including computer graphic modeling, snow, ice, and clay.  The following are some career highlights.
