The Meteor Series was inspired from my love of looking at the night sky. One day I looked up into the sky and saw hundreds of stars falling in clusters. It was truly a once in a life-time spectacle that remains etched in my mind. I am currently working on more wall art sculptures using sheet steel.

MY IMPRESSIONS
My style is derived from my impressions of nature. A new piece takes shape when I am inspired by something I see and experience in the great outdoors. My work of Merganser, Moose, Dragonfly, Fox and Fish are a reflection of my love for the north shore of Lake Superior, where I have spent many years exploring the shoreline and back woods. Each piece starts out as a one-dimensional sketch—and by combining fire, metal and imagination, ends up having its own distinctive personality.

MY INSPIRATION
As a young boy, I spent hours exploring the Bird Sanctuary at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, where I spent time catching frogs and tadpoles, observing the movements of birds, and listening to the sounds of the wild. It’s where my initial passion for nature was ignited. After watching my Uncle Art build a huge swing set and monkey bars by welding it together; I decided to teach myself how to weld and got scrap metal from a junk yard in downtown Minneapolis—created a steel bird­—and I was on my way to becoming a Sculptor.

Actual Size of Sculpture

Each sculpture is an original work of art and cannot be mass produced.

“Working with metal, wood and stone is interesting – to change the form of the raw materials into a different form – not necessarily a greater or lesser energy but a different energy.
