In 1981 I committed myself to a life of art. For the next 25 years I was developing myself as an artist, studying art history, the old masters and modern and contemporary art. I was reading books and magazines on the subject, traveling to museums in America and Europe, going to drawing workshops three times a week, and joining and being active in as many arts organizations as possible.

During that time, I reinvented myself a hundred times constantly searching for my creative voice. I was confronted with relentless creative obstacles and failure after failure. Not one person believed that I would succeed as a professional artist except me. I knew that persistence and love for the process and the hope of eventual success would keep me moving forward. I knew that being an artist wasn’t something that I would try for five or ten years. Being an artist is a lifetime commitment. I never gave up and believed in myself. I will never retire because I love the work I do.

In 2005 I finally found my creative voice. One of my sculptures sold in a group show at a Lois Lambert Gallery in Santa Monica. I asked her if she would give me a show and told me I wasn’t ready. In my experience, this was a typical response, so I moved on and started exhibiting my work at art fairs, festivals, galleries museums, online and through word of mouth.

I am mostly known for making Infinity Rings. There are scores of online articles, and YouTubes about my work.

For the past 18 years I have been successful been doing the work I love as a professional sculptor. I am a team player and easy to work with.
