The Shark

It’s cool when designs come to you instead of you having to go to them. The Shark has been in my mind for some time. Since the early years of traveling the fine art show circuit in Florida, I knew I just had to do one… it was just a matter of time.

I knew it had to be a piece that was fully three-dimensional. My work has finally evolved into those capabilities.

The Shark made from stainless steel (almost like the color of a real shark) is folded similar to the Easter Island Head I designed in 2008. Its intricate fold design allows me to give it detail and dimension while the smooth steel and finely welded edges keep it looking sleek. The Shark rests upon a slightly curved base giving it some height and the illusion that it’s swimming.

I’m anxious to see how my clients in Florida like it and curious to get feedback from others around the country.

As you can see, it's not quite finished. I'll post a photo of the piece when it's complete. Let me know what you think...

First Blog

Hey Everyone. Hope you have been able to check out my newly updated web site and welcome to my first (of many, hopefully) blog. A lot has been happening.

I’m happy to say, and thanks to many of you, that I’m wrapping up my best year to date. My work continues to expand as I’m becoming fascinated with fresh designs as well as new technology that’s making these innovative, complex designs possible. I’m excited about my newest piece, Easter Island Head (see photo) that is created by complex metal folding. It has created quite a buzz and I’ve already received two commissions.

I have my Florida shows coming up in January - March. I’m excited that the whole family will once again join me for part of the trip.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve gotten approval from two cities for large scale solo exhibitions for the summer of ‘09. I’m excited to further my career with these events that feature twenty 8-foot dogs with a new design. These dogs are limited edition and numbered. We are currently working to sign on two additional cities. I hope to expand from being solely a gallery represented artist to a large-scale exhibition caliber artist. Stay tuned… this could be exciting.
