''THE RING OF PEACE''

''THE RING OF PEACE'' I created this sculpture in memory of Matthew Shepard this memorial is located in Casper Wyoming. I was driving back home from delivering a monument to Texas when my wife called and told me Judy Shepard called and wanted to talk to me about a memorial to her son. Later that night I stopped and got a room and went to sleep. I woke at 3am and I try to keep pen and paper next to my bed I drew this idea for a sculpture and went back to sleep. I woke the next morning saw my sketch and I knew I would make the sculpture.

Looking for a good title.

Looking for a good title. The Fox-Wisconsin Heritage Parkway commissioned me to do a sculpture to help promote their new ramps and wheelchair accessible docks for kayak and canoes. I have created this sculpture of a young man leaving his wheelchair behind and running rapids in his Kayak. I like ‘’FREEDOM’’ what do you think?
