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.

Finish one and start another.

I am in the process of finishing a number of pieces. The painting takes patience since many coats have to be applied to get the finish that I want. I am also grinding one of my newer pieces. As the weather get warmer, the heat becomes more effective in the studio. That is a big help in the paint drying process.

Creativity

I went to work in the studio yesterday and finished the work on the crucifix. I have been designing my latest sculptures on the floor. I took a hint from David Smith's book and tried it. It is just as he said "you don't really see it fully until you stand it up." But, the "kicking elements around" sure works. After tacking all the pieces together, I put the sculpture on the table and finished the welding. I added a base and then viewed it. It needed another piece on the top. I attached that one and signed it. It will need some surface treatment.
