My need to create has come to include the three dimensional world of steel sculptures. I have set up a studio close to the Potomac River by Washington DC, and am now able to work creating sculptures in steel and wood. Liberated from the two dimensions world of painting, the sculpture’s while static, portray flowing forms and movement while still paying homage to a subtle essence of beauty that I believe is vital to a successful piece. Grinding a finish into a stainless steel surface I use the grinding wheel like a brush and create the rhythm and patterns that will carry light over and around the surface of the piece. I believe the initiation of each piece of art should be an act of inventiveness and adventure. By figuring out, designing and implementing the practical techniques needed to create a work, a wider spectrum of the imagined is allowed to be brought to reality.
Recently the sculptures have been created for commissions. The work is therefore created for a specific site that allows the sculpture to work as an artistic solution necessary to best compliment and energize a specific location.
