Said "Working on a lightning struck oak sculpture for a client. The sphere is willow wood. All of the carving/shaping was done with an electric chainsaw and hand held belt sander. The fine sanding was done with a table belt sander, orbital sander, and a lot of hand sanding. A beeswax orange oil conditioner was thoroughly applied to the entire sculpture. This sculpture stands just under 3 feet tall. It's not quite done. I have a nice large piece of oak wood with a few knots in it, it will be carved into a sphere to add to one of the spires."

Ever since I was able & old enough to hold onto a crayon or piece of chalk I was drawing something. My interest in the arts grew as I matured and I drew as often as I could. In high school I filled my class schedule with as many art classes as possible. My studies in art included painting, ceramics, graphic arts & drawing.

It was from him that I was introduced to working with wood as a sculpting medium. Inspiration for my various art works comes from a very simple source, life. Life inspires me.
