SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 5/30

I wanted to share with you the inspiration behind my sculpture, "Ode to Venus" (right). In 1908 an archeologist discovered a female fertility figure carved from limestone in Willendorf, Australia."Venus of Willendorf" (left) stands 4 in. high and is estimated to have been made between 24,000 and 22,000 BC. Boldly sexual and designed for procreation, my sculpture is an homage to this sculpture from long ago.

GETTING A BRAND NEW PIECE CAST...

Today! Check back for pictures. I'm very excited to show the completed work!

TV INTERVIEWS

I wanted to post a few of my TV interviews and Youtube videos on the blog to show everyone.
The first was a nationally syndicated interview on WFLA's show, "Daytime". In this interview I go over my purpose as an artist to create monumental Peace Parks, why I create uplifting sculptures, and how the process of bronze casting works.

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 5/23/12

I wanted to share the inspiration behind my piece, "A Girl in a Golden Anklet". When my daughter, Hana-li, was very young, I ran into an acquaintance. The woman was wearing a silver necklace. Later, Hana-li asked me where the "girl in the silver necklace" was. I loved how my two year old daughter identified this woman by her necklace. I decided to make a sculpture based on this idea. This sculpture depicts a young woman, supremely at ease within herself, identified only by her golden anklet.

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 5/14

This week, I wanted to share a bit about my piece, "Roller Queen". The sculpture is bronze on a stainless steel base.


I remember metal skates and a funny key, and a long hill that ended in a death defying left hand turn. Inspired by the song “I’ve Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates”by Melanie.
