Previous Public Art Projects

Yes

Public, Private or Both

Several private commissions completed and selected to work with SIerra Gardens School for their art project. I have maquetttes for large sculptures for bronze work to be completed and installed by the Sacramento Bronze Foundry.

Artist Statement

Public art should have some meaning to the location of the art. It should be well thought out as to comparative size of the surroundings and color and texture to the location. It must be well executed in quality and if it can add a little joy or intrigue so much the better. I do enjoy public art that has some individual style and unusual approach.

Public Art Media

Maquettes are in 3 dimensional bronze. The two dimensional work is done with collage, acrylic and blockprints as represented in the work above

Previous Projects

No public project to date, but I have had education in the area of bronze sculpture and know what to do with the project once it has been approved. The foundry in Sacramento does the entire project with the artist as an instructor. On the collage work I have had several large commissions completed and installed. Ceramic sculpture is simple enough.

Educational Background

Attend Sierra College for years while working full time. Studied with several well known artists and they have given me a lot of inspiration to continue my work in the public art area. So here I am.
