In the end it is not about how many years you lived
The great thing about working with bronze it is such a strong, durable, and permanent medium. . The creation of monuments is extremely time consuming and labor intensive, requiring an initial design, creating a clay model, then casting it in bronze through the lost wax method. I find that the labor gives me great personal satisfaction. To know that my work will be standing in the sun long after I’m gone for future generations to experience and enjoy is thrilling. Sculpting is what I do for a living, I have found something I have a great love and passion for. I hope others can see that through the works I have created. Because In the end it is not about how many years you lived in this world but what you leave behind that truly matters.
