My goal is to create fine art that engages the imagination and emotions of the observer.

The sculpture is primarily bronze, though a few pieces are stone and wood.

The bronze pieces are created using the “Lost Wax” process.

• The original piece is created in clay and modeling wax, then a mold is created over the piece.
• The original art is removed from the mold and recycled.
• Hot wax is poured into the mold.
• When cooled, the wax replica of the original work is removed from the mold and "chased," making minor adjustments to the wax to ensure it looks like the original piece.
• The wax piece is then taken to a foundry, depending upon the design of the piece the wax may be cut into castable sizes, and a shell is made around the piece(s).
• The wax is melted out of the shell, “Lost Wax.”
• Molten metal is then poured into the shell.
• After cooling, the shell is broken off of the metal to reveal a bronze sculpture.
• The metal is then "chased" to reassemble any parts that were cast separately and flaws in the metal are repaired to ensure the final piece looks like the original artwork.
• The "chased" piece is then heated and chemicals are used in a patina process to color the piece to ensure the original concept of the piece is realized.
