A lifetime of outdoor adventures and field work has provided me firsthand knowledge of animals, birds and fish. In creating sculpture, I strive to capture the beauty of my subject's anatomy and personality while incorporating these qualities into a strong composition. Elements such as line, shape, mass, negative space and movement
are crucial in my work. My objective is not to duplicate nature but rather interpret it through blending realism and artistic merit. I want my fingerprints and tool marks to be visible on my sculptures.
