Schoolyard sculptures in collaboration with the kids and teachers

 

 

Sculptures and metal pictures are worldwide in public spaces and private collections.

 

My desire as an artist working internationally is to design artwork which

fits into the broader cultural context as well as the ambiance of the

desired setting.  Therefore, I strive to combine the site specific natural

and architectural lines with traditional and historical themes to create

something both unique and representational for the piece in its setting.
