“I had been trying to create a pose for a sculpture of a lynx that encompassed the many adjectives used to describe the animal. Powerful, aloof, shy, and intense are a few of them. One winter, a bobcat took up residence next to our home in Colorado and provided some wonderful reference poses for my lynx piece. I felt this seated pose conveys what I wanted the viewer to feel about this great cat. The beautiful curve of the lynx’s body draws the viewer into a secretive yet intense predatory gaze.”

“I grew up on a farm in southern Ohio, so strong women have been prominent in my life. Their strength and earthiness have influenced my artwork, much of which depicts female figures working and doing chores around the farm. It wasn’t until I had traveled throughout Europe and the United States that I was struck by the universality of my figures. Rather than trying to portray an exact likeness, my work explores ideas and their suggested interpretations. I want my art to connect with the viewer through common memories and emotions, past and present.”

“I am attracted to primitive art because of its power to evoke a feeling and to capture the spirit of the moment. When I create my bighorn sheep sculptures, I also try to capture a moment. I hope the pieces bring the viewer not only a visual experience, but also an emotional and spiritual one. With SHEEP AND MAN, I enjoyed contrasting the rounded, drum-like shape of the sheep’s body to its flat top. The full belly speaks of abundance and well-being. The flat top is like a piece of land upon which man can roam and share with all living things. Maybe, as the sheep turns her head, she assures us that the earth will provide enough for everyone and everything if we use it wisely.”

“MADAME ROSE is from my French Lessons series. It was created spontaneously after finding a perfect Pink Lady apple. Pink Lady translates to Madame Rose in French, a title befitting the beautiful, sensual form of my model. The apple sits detached on the tower, allowing the viewer to pick it up. On each side of the tower are dried wildflower designs. The bronzes in this series contain forms typically seen in still-life paintings. Working as a painter before becoming a sculptor, I found this to be a natural transition. The titles are simply names in French and English, thus the French Lessons series.”

“Titles are important to my work, and I choose them carefully. UPSY DAISY! is what the lower little pig is saying to exhort his comrade. But once one little pig makes it onto the seesaw, how will the other one possibly get up there? Family entertainment or frustration? Will the pressure on the seesaw squash the apple into cider, thereby ending the game? Many of my pieces have a lighter side and a dark side for the viewer to discover. The underlying story here is intergenerational relationships, power struggles, and resources—all in seemingly good fun.”

“RICOCHET is a piece that I have wanted to do all of my artistic life. My father introduced me to the western desert regions when I was very young, and I came to love the history of the area. Before college, I worked splitting ties from the old railroad bed of the Transcontinental Railroad. The rails met here in Utah in 1869, when the Golden Spike was driven in. The section of track portrayed in my sculpture not only gave history to this story, but it also created a directional line with pleasing geometric shapes. As a falconer I have witnessed hundreds of hunting situations by various birds of prey, but none have been more captivating than the handful of eagle hunts I have witnessed.”

“Everyone is familiar with alligators lazily basking in the warmth of the sun while recharging their reptilian batteries. This piece was an effort to render these reptiles in an environment that few people ever see. But most important to me, it is an exercise in abstract silhouettes, where you have the organic, fluid shapes of the alligators juxtaposed with the geometric, manmade lines of the architectural element that supports them. I am constantly finding myself intrigued by this combination of contrived and uncontrived sculptural elements. It’s really what makes sculpture fun and interesting to me.”

“While I am at work on a sculpture, I get ideas for other pieces and do line sketches for later reference. Periodically I sift through these drawings to see if any jump out at me for development into a finished piece. MILLICENT virtually leaped out of the stack and became one of those ideas that took shape quickly and flowed easily to completion. With my sculptural style I can emphasize and exaggerate design elements without being limited to true body forms. The solid curvature, angular lines, and framed open spaces of this piece all combine to express relaxation and reflection, yet with an element of tautness and strength.”

“The emotions I had surrounding my divorce became the inspiration for DISCONNECTED. It wasn’t a particularly pleasant part of my life, but what is interesting is how the sculpture can be seen in a different way as my life moves into a new chapter. What at first was “disconnected” is now “re-connecting.” It is a real symbol of how life is ever-changing and what initially may seem insurmountable can evolve into a wonderful beginning.”

“As a figurative sculptor, I rely on the beauty and uniqueness of my models to create art. When I met my African model, she fell naturally into this pose. Besides the great fullness of form, there was a sense of peace and calm about her. I did my best to capture this in my work, which I have named UMOGA, meaning ‘I am we’ or ‘I am because we are.’”
