I have been Sculpting in steel and other fabricated metals for more than half of my life. It is a very satisfying medium to work in because it is relatively unexplored; especially in the naturalistic or neo-classical genres. I have devoted the greater part of my time to first understanding how to melt, and mold hard steel into the forms that I envision, and second, to make the forms I envision correct to nature.
My ambition is to be the first artist in modern history to master naturalism and classical perfection in steel sculpture. While bronze work and the foundry processes are part of my training, I intend to sculpt primarily in fabricated metal sculpture. This promises original work every time, and, while I do not pretend to degrade or press advantage over casted sculpture in it’s artistic value, I do clame to offer similar or superior quality in natural sculpture, along with a variation in the uniqueness and originality of the comparative pieces.
Many sculptures I have done incorporate some contour lines or paralleled silhouettes with the solid fabricated sections. This ensures that the viewer acknowledges the fact that the sculpture is fabricated and not poured. This is not however a feature I insist upon, but rather, something I will phase out more and more as I continue in naturalism.
I live in Cedar City, UT with my beautiful wife Nicole and our four children.
