Objective

To acquire acceptance into galleries and museums where my work will be viewed.

Qualifications

I have spent the past twenty years perfecting my style in my contemporary style bronze sculptures. My experience working at Bronzart Foundry Inc has allowed me to grow in my own technique and style while working with many artists of different genres. Graduating from Ringling School of Art and Design, I went on to create a body of work for exhibition. I am dedicated to use my talents and experience to create sculpture with the utmost quality of craftsmanship and distinctiveness.
