Completed in May, 2015, this cast bronze horse was inspired by a small reproduction of a famous Chinese flying horse in my collection. The Gansu Horse rode astride the back of a swallow, for it was as swift as the wind. My horse shares the same pose, balanced upon one hoof, but no swallow is…

What better way to capture the beauty of bronzed, tanned skin than in bronze? This piece captures the free and easy spirit of a woman relaxing on a day at the beach, wrapped up in the pleasure of the moment and totally oblivious of the world around her. Stretched out with a good book, soaking…

For my wife, it is a refuge, a reprieve from the burdens of the day, a chance to shake off the dust of life and re-anoint herself with the confidence, grace and patience with…

Her name both describes her feelings as well as mine in her creation. I love her confidence and self-assurance and the way she boldly ascends the stairs even though they become narrower as they reach higher, even though what awaits her at the top of the stairs is completely unknown. She knows that she is…

This was created for a dear friend in southern France who loves crows, unlike most, and loves their call, unlike even more. To her, the “caw, caw, caw” call they make is almost identical to “crois, crois, crois,” the French word for “believe,” repeated over and over again. To her, whenever she hears the crow’s…
