“Matelasse”

 “Matelasse” is on exhibit in St. George, UT.

 

It’s part of the 2025-2026 Art Around the Corner public art on loan program. This year’s exhibit is exceptional with many sculptures representing artists nationwide. 

Twisted Tree

 Inspired by a tree I found recently when I was skiing at Arapahoe Basin. The tree looked like a candy cane by the way it had been twisted. I did some research and discovered it is a true phenomenon for a tree to be twisted. It takes a lifetime of harsh winds and weather for it to occur. 

I was inspired to start my own piece. It feels autobiographical. This is the beginning. 

First Sign of Spring II

 I so very pleased to announce the installation of a commission at a private home in Greenwood Village. “First Sign of Spring II” is smaller than the original one and has a different set of colors.

 The sculpture located in an intimate garden setting surrounded by large Spruce trees. As the sun passes through the day, little slivers of light pass through the glass forms and shine brightly. Bright enough you would think I installed electricity. The glass creates refractions as it passes through the many molded surfaces and colors.

Enjoy the images! I expect to continue building artwork along this series. It is immensely rewarding to consider natural light as a sculptural medium.
