“I have been experimenting in abstract photography for several years but continue to love animals and nature.  I began woodcarving in 1992 and work primarily in small forms and animals.  My interest in welded metal sculpture began several years ago and I continue to enjoy the smell of hot metal.  Video art is a new endeavor but one in which I have had interest since the 1960’s.”
