Artists at Work

Carving an original wildlife sculpture from a block of wood is labor intensive and represents only the first 20% of the project.  Photo shows the finished carving stage of "Learning to Fly." 

The detailed wood carving and burning needed to give a bird its final shape and feather pattern typically takes 40 to 80 hours.  Photo shows "The Binocular Bandit" nearing completion.

I am adding the final touches to the original wildlife sculpture "He Chose Defiance" before showing it at the Rehoboth Art League 

Juried Exhibition in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

I enjoy a good challenge and this gravity-defying sculpture really put my knowledge of physics to the test.  I used this sculpture as a template for my award-winning sculpture "The Show-Off."  

Here's the view from my carving, painting and assembly workstation, with my hands of course doing all of the work.  It's a blessing to have a great workspace in a peaceful location.

My art gallery is located above the workshop, where I display some of my completed original wildlife sculptures and cold cast bronze art.  Some sculptures may be on display at local galleries or regional art exhibitions.
