Contact the Artist

In 1980, I wandered into the studio of the metal artist David Spurlock on the Jersey Shore and spent two summer vacations watching him work. Finally in 1982 he decided I might as well do something useful if I was going to be there anyway and I have been making things out of bronze ever since.

Since then, my work has been exhibited in a wide variety of settings on four continents. My work has appeared in galleries, arts and craft shows, science fiction conventions, more than a dozen renaissance fairs, and for several years I had a shop at Universal Studios here in Florida. I have also done custom work for specialty retail venues like Cirque du Soleil. Over the years, I have picked up the usual assortment of ribbons and awards.

Today, I offer my work on a wholesale only basis to over one hundred shops and galleries in five countries on three continents.

Next comes the part where I bare my soul about the torment and ecstasy involved in the creation of my ART.<insert ominous thunder here>   The short version is I make the things I do because I enjoy doing so and the fact that I get to watch people pick them up and smile is a bonus.  I will leave it at that, because on the off chance I did slip some "meaning" into a piece when you were not looking, it is a failure if I have to explain it.

Technically, this is supposed to be written in the third person, but people who refer to themselves that way have always worried me.
