Artist Bio....
I enjoy creating unique handcrafted sculpture carved primarily from soapstone or alabaster. All my work is produced solely by me in a small work area at my home using hand tools and grinders. I am now expanding my sculptures to include other stone carvings as well as incorporating mixed media into my art. My main focus is still my bears and we still visit national parks on our vacations to look for the real bears.
Why do I carve dancing bears when such a powerful could be shown in a fierce and agressive stance? I see them as always having fun, the way they play when they are young. I design my sculptures to be pleasing to look at and a pleasure to own.
My sculpture is available in galleries, art shows, private sales, and commissions.
