I began drawing and sculpting as a child. I then went on to pursue a career as the Director of Design for major companies. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University.
A big part of the training in industrial design, is creativity and fully developing your imagination. If I have any strength, it lies in my ability to imagine new and wonderful things. As these ideas take shape in clay then proceed to bronze, I hope to show a fantastic scene when the art piece is complete.
I have been fortunate enough to visit some very impressive places in the world. Some of my favorites have been Porsche AG museum in Stuttgart, Germany - the Corvette museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Pinninfarina design house, and Ferrari S.p.A. in Maranello, Italy. Being a car enthusiast has led me to sculpt automotive themed bronzes, inspired by the emotional connection of art on wheels.
I was introduced to making life-sized clay models at work. I had a wonderful mentor who taught me many clay skills. I had, for a long time, wanted to sculpt…but with work and family responsibilities, never found much time to seriously concentrate on it.
One day I came to the realization that maybe I should be pursuing some other aspect of my talent. I had always wanted to sculpt and now I was in a position where I could pursue it. I just so happened to be close to 3 foundries and went out and bought my first blocks of clay.
I hope to capture Art in each of my sculptures and hope you can enjoy one of these in your home. Thank you for visiting my gallery and please return often as my sculptures just keep coming! |
