MY PORTFOLIO

Sabre Cat In the summer of 1988, I took a stone carving class - the instructor let us choose a piece of alabaster from a group of rough pieces, then instructed us on chiseling and filing. This is the piece I carved over the course of four weekends, without any...

Art Shows From the summer of 2000 through 2007, I had a little go at selling art in arts and craft shows. Mostly, I had a series of altered-state photos of mine I called Fine Artography. This is a photo of me from one of the many shows I did - this one was the summer...

Welded Metal Sculptures Shortly after I started attending the Kansas City Art Institute, I went to work for The Sculpture Studio – a company run by Frank Andrews and Michael Drabbs. The Sculpture Studio sold welded metal sculpture throughout the midwest, and I was one...

Wire Mask Another of the many one-off sculptures I made during my years with The Sculpture Studio. As with so many of my other creations, this was created without any forethought or planning. Unfortunately, it's long since been lost. The piece stood about two-feet...
