BIOGRAPHY
Since my birth in Montana, I have been traveling and residing around the United States and the world on a journey of exploration, discovery and creation. My formative years in the West instilled in me a sense of vast open space, scale and timelessness, which has been augmented by living near ancient stone environments such as Machu Pichu, Rome, Petra and Stonehenge. I have worked in the African bush, at a California gold mine and have taught at several universities.
These experiences have led to a body of work in stone, bronze, stainless steel, water and light. Examples are the 30 foot painted steel WIND DRAGON for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Park and two monumental stainless steel sculptures I created for World Expo 88 in Brisbane, Australia. From my studio in Yellow Springs, Ohio, I travel anywhere in the world to create and install sculpture projects.
