As a former aerospace engineer, I am obsessed with the technical aspects of my work, like the secret compartments I sometimes include, or the way some pieces are designed and laid out. The challenge of creating the physiology of an animal and then investing it with a personality beyond the often-idealized "noble beast" is the inspiration behind my work. My sculptures can be found in Jungle Drums Gallery in Florida, Out of Hand Gallery in Scottsdale Arizona, as well as the collection of Joan Embry, and the new mammal wing of the Smithsonian.
