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.

Inspiration is sometimes a quick look.

I had planned to create a new piece from circles that I had laid out on the floor. As I constructed the main elements, they did not fulfill what I had envisioned. They did not encompass the space that I wanted. I just looked at my scrape area and saw short pieces of steel tubing just laying around. That sparked an idea and my new piece was created. I moved them around to get different perspectives of the spaces that they occupied. I left them for my next day in the shop.
