Artist Bio:

I am a Father of 6. I have been an  artist for 40 years, a college art teacher for 30 years. I have juried 20+ art shows annually. I am married to the same sweet gal, wondering what I'm going to be when I really grow up? But I'm still interested in more things to design!

Artist Statement:

My forms, many of the times, are hallow pieces that appear heavy, but are in reality, quite light to the touch. I like to decorate with semi-precious stones and river or ocean rock. By using natural elements found, with the combination of the silver texture, I am able to create an interesting form that expresses the beauty of the natural world with the beauty of the created world.
