Mosaic New Mexico

If you've seen my cows, you'll have seen that they do fly, and rabbitos too! You might even have seen cows living in palaces, coyotes dropping by via balloon, or cats dancing. 
A graduate of the University of Illinois, and licensed as an architect, I built my own home in the 60's as well as other architectural projects, but kept finding myself thinking about habitats in sculptural form. 
I didn't get far with the sculpture approach to habitats, but armed with a sense of humor, my experience led me to the sculpture I'm doing today, and it's become a vehicle through which I can communicate with others. 
Where architecture had constricted my penchant for free thought, I found joy and humor as the artist in me made me move outside the traditional notions of art-in-a-frame and sculpture-on-a-pedestal. 
Humor allows us to transcend everyday events and gain a different perspective, and my sculptures give me a way to evoke that universal feeling of happiness that resides in each of us.

It's my goal that my creations leave you with a positive memory, a feeling of delight and a smile!
