HOME WRECKER
HOME WRECKER (25 x 18 x 9 (inches)
Here is another tile that adds to the story of the piece. Homewrecker is a sculpture of a large bull elk rubbing his antlers on an Aspen tree that also happens to be the home for two magpies. Elk will rub their antlers on trees and shrubs to attract cows and mark their territory to intimidate other Bulls. This bull does not notice or care that he is wreaking havoc and shaking the home of these two magpies.

''CHASING THE WIND''
''CHASING THE WIND'' Imagine what it would be like and feel like to look at the world from a different vantage point. Look inside your subject you are creating. You’re doing a horse imagine what it would be like to be a horse fast and powerful running over the ground with four legs full of power and grace weighing a thousand pounds. And when you do this it will give you a new insight and perspective to your work.

''FREEDOM''
''FREEDOM'' Received commission by the Fox River Wisconsin heritage Parkway to create a sculpture that would celebrate and bring awareness to handicap assessable kayaking and canoe ramps. My sculpture ‘’Freedom’’ is a young man who has left his wheelchair behind and running whitewater rapids in a kayak. Without the use of his legs, he has left the confinement and restrictions of the wheelchair behind. Now he is in control of his own destiny, living in the moment and feeling the freedom and rush of being on the water.
