PROFILE
For 25 years as a bronze sculptor, I have had the privilege of creating sculptures of historical figures, military themes, civic leaders, and athletes for outdoor collections throughout the contiguous US. From my studio in the art community of Loveland, Colorado, I strive to capture character, determination, and emotion in my three–dimensional sculptures. It is immensely gratifying to see my clay models come to life as honorable bronze sculptures for permanent outdoor art collections.
