The geometry of simple curves and round objects has been a decades-long interest producing geometric, even practical, vessels. He now is adding more representational images to his body of work including people and animals, a consequence of serious study of figure drawing. Besides winning awards in local art shows, his work is also in private collections in California, Europe, and Japan. Artist statement "I enjoy trying to achieve the perfect form, creating objects that engage the viewer. I see my work functioning as a key visual point within a space, inviting a look and a touch." |
