Art and the making of objects has defined my life. I graduated from East High School in downtown Denver CO., a wildly diverse congregation of music, culture and serious study. That was the extent of my formal education, choosing instead to nurture my curiosity and experience the world first hand by traveling, hungry for every encounter possible. I’ve supported myself as an artist my entire life, enjoying the process of making objects from myriad materials, the ballet and balance of it. In addition to my purely sculptural work, architecture has been of parallel interest. I've built 3 significant art homes as well as architectural landscaping projects in cast concrete, welded steel and glass.
