​SCULPTURE

Type your paragraph here.

NATURAL FORMS RE-IMAGINED ​

I have been an avid scuba diver since 1976. From the entire coast of California to Florida, Hawaii and Mexico. What I have seen under the water, and on the beach has inspired my work in all media. I was also an Ice hockey Goalie for 11 years, during the time of the fiberglass mask. So the mask is present in my work as well.

I use a variety of sculptural materials in my sculpture. I have taught Sculpture/Ceramics/Biological Illustration/3d/and Art since 1983.

Currently I teach Art  , full time, at T R SMEDBERG MIDDLE SCHOOL, SACRAMENTO, California. I also teach a Summer course called Sculpture's a Beach, at the Mendocino Art Center.

I continue to create new work in Ceramics, Sculpture,Painting, Printmaking and Illustration, including Digital.
