For twenty years I have been working with wood, glass and metal and have done numerous pieces for individuals, churches, and corporations in the United States and throughout the world. In my work I take a fresh look at ancient truths. Each piece of sculpture that I do leads me a bit further into the mystery and strength that is held within the wood. I have various wood sculptures available and can be consulted for design and commission work. The Gallery photos give you an idea of my work.
