Water Bird.  The large bird raises its wings outward in welcome, its head turned to face the bathers, a simple image of watch care.

"For a visual artist, sights, sounds, tangled realities enter, impress, and finally leave as something else – works of art – in stone, wood, metal, etc. While crafting the material, hopefully, a union takes place between it and that thing the artist wished to say by way of embodiment; by way of art. Subject matter becomes a point of departure, often alongside a growing acquaintance with it, something like the relationship jazz musicians have with melody. Here I try to keep the soul of a thing in mind while doing take-offs on its body. A creative current moves from artist to artist’s materials and back again, varying from weak to strong to total takeover inside a closed circuit. My discipline and my pleasure is to be true to first thoughts while loving the material and what it might bring to the piece.

I was born in New York City, the son of an enlisted man in the Navy, and so we traveled. Largely self-taught, I have done two-dimensional art all my life while making a living in the building trades. Now I sculpt full-time. Married with one grown artistic daughter, I live with my wife, a photographer, in Charleston, SC."
