My April newsletter was entitled “The Love-Hate Relationship with Painting: A Sculptor's Perspective” and shared a little bit about my struggles with 2D. Grateful to have talented painter friends to answer all of my never ending questions
Seeing as it’s International Sculpture Day, I thought I would share a few pictures of old in-progress work. Some of these transformed into new sculptures and others were just for fun, to study. Dropping my April newsletter tomorrow!! Decided
Little behind the scenes content from my studio. These busts have such a different energy when grouped together. Needed a few weeks away from art to focus on the never ending remodeling that my wife and I seem to always sign ourselves up for. 🙃 T

Started a new piece over the weekend. I've been wanting to do something a bit larger in scale. It's tricky because if the scale is "life size", there is the assumption that it is a life-cast. So as I move beyond life-size, it's hard to find

#5…Muse: Shift I chose this name because the color of this piece looks so different depending on the time of day and angle of viewing. Car is loaded and Marybeth and I are ready to start the journey down to Palm Beach. With a stop along th
Muse: Origin This tattooed inspired version in my Muse series feels like the true original in this unique color. While I've had fun working with the funky finishes on all of the variations of this piece (two more still to be shared!) I feel like th
Ancient Art - This is a piece I did a few years ago. It’s a stylized thai fighter. I always intended to put the target on the knee, to the point that it was etched into the bronze. I decided to give it a silver leaf finish. It’s ready for
Muse: Delicate I love red as a power color. It's high energy and bold. That's why I chose it for this piece with flowers - to bring a counter balance to the delicate feel she has. Another final product ready for the journey down to Palm Beach in two
Have you ever been within sight of the finish line and you trip on a dandelion and take a boulder to the balls? Something small becomes something so big. Well this was a small chip that became a big disaster. Nothing like another 20 hours to get back
