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.

Creativity is flourishing.

My hunt for steel was successful. I got lots of raw material to work with. I also got a base plate for the new piece and attached it to it. I have a supply of metal working bits in my tool box from work and finally put them to good use while fitting the base to the shafts. I finished that piece and started another one. The important consideration when picking out steel shapes at the supply yard is to be able to buy what you can use. Actually, I saw some larger elements that I would like to use in a later piece.
