Introducing the 2008
Bronze Sculpture Garden
Opening Reception will be held
June 27 from 4-7pm
Growing up on Orcas Island its hard not to be inspired by the beauty all around. There is days when I have so much on my mind and life seems so hectic, Its always those days when from out of a window I notice the sky light up with its heavenly colors. It stops me in my tracks it brings a relief and peace in a busy world. With my sunrises and sunset sculpture I try to capture that moment.
Sea shells have enchanted mankind for centuries. Their variety of shape, color, structure, texture and modes of adaptation seems endless. Enjoy the refreshing and mesmerizing effects of water as these fun-loving children explore different ways of playing with nature’s gifts. Children and water are life-giving forces for our species and our planet. It is altogether fitting and appropriate that the two come together and provide you with a unique and uplifting fountain arrangement that will beautify and enhance your favorite garden areas. It was while on a leisurely trip to Mexico, that resulted in my creation of this fountain piece. We had purchased some giant clam shells from the beach vendors and on our way home we stopped and stayed with some friends in Phoenix who had a pool. Our son’s water drenching activities inspired my first fountain piece. The magic to any fountain is the sound of the water.

John Denver wrote: ‘You never need be a poor man if you ever saw an eagle fly’. I have to agree; their sheer size alone makes those gigantic wings appear effortless and in slow-motion as they slice their way through the sky. Eagles are so beautiful from just a design standpoint. I never fully appreciated them until I sculpted one. I love the head and beak shape and how the brow arch casts such prominent shadows over their piercing eyes. Their beak is like a hatchet blade, cutting the air as it speeds downward in a dive. Every time I land in a big jet I marvel at how man has mimicked the wing design of these majestic creatures in order to get the necessary lift to get our huge silver ‘birds’ off the ground. Even propellers and jet engine turbines copy the camber and pitch of a bird’s wings. Eagles hold a special place in my psyche for I have seen many an eagle fly

Nature's Balance shows a boy at the height of joy as he offers food to his new friend. When we are giving, our importance in the world is realized. As the young boy offers charity, his spirit is lifted, harmony is created and he finds happiness.

Another DayThis is one of my very faviorit reliefs I have done. When I first had the idea for my sunset reliefs, I didnt know if it was really going to work out like i emagioned it might. The first few reliefs I sculpted and started casting in the lost wax for one reason or another broke out at the bronze pour. So after months of trying I was finnaly able to get one of my reliefs into bronze so I could finaly try my patina finish. This one of a kind piece was among those very first castings.
