Recent adventures in my world of art.

​

I'm grateful to have been chosen as an artist of the FUSED Exhibit at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens in Akron, Ohio.

​

Myself and three other metal sculptors have created large scale sculptures that have been installed throughout the extensive grounds and gardens of the Museum estate.

The third piece is informed by the artist’s personal vision and style.

All of the sculptures in the exhibit are for sale.
