Contemporary Metal Sculptures are compelling, lyrical and magical.
Well-designed
Abstract Metal Sculptures represent the aspirations and ever-upward
striving of the human spirit. They capture your heart and mind and draw you towards
them.

Aluminum is a wonderful material with which to create
metal sculptures. It is relatively easy to cut and shape and eventually one learns how to
weld it. The surface forms a natural oxide that protects the underlying metal
from further oxidation. It is an ideal material for outdoor art sculpture.
If a crack develops in the paint, it won't rust, as do steel and stainless
steel.
Aluminum alloys can be very soft (pure aluminum) to the very strong rigid
materials used to build airplanes, cars and boats. It is about one-half the
weight of steel, which makes it easier to handle. I use the strong, structural
aluminum.

Bronze is an alloy of copper that is harder and stiffer than copper and easier to weld. It can take on many of the patinas and flame colorations of copper. Bronze has been a celebrated medium for metal sculpture for more than 4000 years. I have been using silicone bronze to create my fabricated bronze sculptures. I love the soft golden tone of silicone bronze. A small circular sander is used to give the bronze surface a texture that catches and reflects the light from its many facets.
These smaller metal sculptures are ideal for tabletop or pedestal display. They are beautiful from every angle.

A sculpture placed on a site is a marker declaring that the space surrounding it is unique and special and dedicated to the celebration of being extraordinary. Modern Abstract Sculptures uplift the spirit and remind us that we are here to do great things. They serve no other purpose. Among my favorite man-made large sculptures are Stonehenge, the Eiffel Tower, the St. Louis Arch, the Washington Monument, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pyramids of Egypt. The Milwaukee Art Museum is a building that incorporates sculpture in its design. The best of architecture is sculptural.
Great joy
Transforming dreams into reality
Visions into substance
Ephemeral into lasting
Passion and poetry in metal.
