About Me

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I have a B.A. in Sculpture and a M.A. in Fine Arts from Hofstra University in New York. Most of my works were created and exhibited right after college. In the last 35 years, I have been pursuing my career as a Plastic Injection Moldmaker. For me, the intricate process of building and repairing the ‘molds’ was an excellent substitute for the process of creating a sculpture. During that time, I have also kept my artistic talents honed by designing and building stage sets for my wife’s Ballet school. When time permitted, I have continued to create a limited number of sculptures. I have recently retired and so, I can now return to my passion of creating Welded Steel Sculptures.

New Toys.

I spent Wednesday afternoon picking-up my new air compressor from the freight company. U-haul to the rescue. Got it in the garage, ready to be installed. It should take a while to get it operating since it needs to be bolted to the floor and a new electrical service run to it.

Surface Treatment.

Went back to work on my newest piece. My choices were painted all black and ground finish. I needed to prepare the surface for painting anyway, so I ground the faces first. I tried to add paint on the inside of the holes. That was not good. I reground the surface with a finer grit of sandpaper after the initial rough wheel. That will work well. I need to grind the inner faces of the holes.
