I have fun creating bright colorful sculptures based on my connection to nature. Serpentine shapes reflect nature’s shapes and become whimsical abstractions of all the elements, water, wind, flora and fauna. I draw on popular culture such as TV shows, science programs and often name my work based on those intersections where we have commonalities.
My stainless-steel sculptures are site-specific and are designed for the community they find themselves in. The mosaic-stained glass pieces are imbedded in concrete formulated to last decades. Little hands are unable to pry up the glass and all edges are sanded smooth. Mosaics are some of the most durable of mediums think Pompeii or the Roman Baths with today’s bright colors.

Juxtapose my stainless-steel sub straights and glass shapes in bright colors dance with sunlight, many sculptures are kinetic and are designed for gusty winds from Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and beyond. LED lights can be added and are designed to light up the night and add a different dimension to my sculptural forms. Video link to my Kinetic methods: Kinetic Sculptures
I have tested my materials for all conditions and have successfully installed sculptures, bas-relief works, all prepared for challenging weather. Of course, as a public artist I can work to a specific request using metal, glass, plexiglass, mosaics in a myriad of materials as shown in on my website and in the attached examples. I have mosaics in four parks in Lakewood Colorado where I live so I can check in to see how the grout and materials are holding up. After eight years I can celebrate no cracks or loss of tesserae.
Designed for a garden setting, roundabout or a streetscape my sculptures are favorites of all ages.
