I grew up next to Sourdough Creek where it wanders into Bozeman Montana. That proximity to nature left an indelible mark on my artistic soul. After earning a degree in art from Montana State University and graduate studies at the University of Montana, Illustration became my primary focus and eventually led to a long career as a freelance illustrator working for major publishing houses around the US specializing in art for children. In addition, drawing and sculpting have always been a part of my creative life. Much of my work has been featured in national juried shows and exhibitions across the country, including the prestigious National Sculpture Society’s Annual Exhibition an the Sculpture in the Park show in Loveland Colorado. My wife and my life long fellow artist, enjoy our children, grand children, friends, and our life together while continuing to create art .
Critters like this owl are the whimsical side of my sculpture. After 40 years illustrating children's books it seemed natural to take my love of "animals with attitude" and bring them alive in a three dimensional medium. I call these sculptures "Critters with Comments.. You can enjoy a short video of these "comments" by clicking the button below.
