The act of creating has been a driving force in my life.  My primary career focus was as a script writer and director of film and video.  My work was recognized by over fifty national and international awards, including honors from the New York and Chicago International Film Festivals, and inclusion in the Library of Congress CINE Collection. Upon retiring, I began to channel my creative energies into sculpture. Over the past few years, my work has appeared in over fifty juried shows from California to New York and was featured in the book "Contemporary Sculptors." 

My work, both figurative and abstract, arises from my subconscious combined with memory and a spontaneous interaction with a variety of materials.  The sculptures have been described as elegant, yet also earthy and powerful and are imbued with a mythic, numinous, and archetypal awareness that comes directly from my process of creation.  My ultimate goal is to have the viewer feel a sense of familiarity with the work...a sense of knowing, of understanding.

Unlike most of my figurative works, which typically arise from my memory, Bearded Man was sculpted from a live model.  I was fascinated by his long beard and asked him to grasp it in his hand.  Isolating only the head, hand and beard gives the piece a very mesmerizing and somewhat surreal feel.
