Edit ProfileCareer
From 1978 to 1980 he drew dancers in Ballet Denver, the studios of Rieke Maria Love in Denver, Colorado, and it was Love that first suggested he try sculpture. In 1984 he toured Europe, sketching in museums and city squares before settling into Paris for a six-month study at the Paris-American Academy. Returning to the United States, in 1985 he settled in the town of Middlefield, Master of Arts and built a sculpting studio and foundry with the help of his father.
