"Kentucky River Sprout" stone sculpture

 This sculpture follows a common theme in my work where I am symbolically referring to "Self-Renewal".

"Sparks" marble vessel

The subject matter was inspired by a combination of flames and of a bird taking flight.  The front 'petal' is the head of the bird and it is lifted up and ready to take to the skies.

"Lobed Leaf" stone vessel

 The design for this functional sculpture is a result of following what the stone had to offer.  When I "free carve", I let the stone dictate what direction it wants to go...

"Whirlpool" stone vessel

 This functional sculpture was inspired by the appearance of spiral glyph patterns that I noticed in both Celtic art of Great Briton and the art of ancient Native Americans in my region.  There is also the stylistic composition of river eddies, as seen in the nearby Ohio River.

"Drop In The Ocean" stone vessel

"Back Petal" stone vessel

 This functional sculpture has a title that is a play-on-words; instead of a stem, this leaf has a flower petal.  The concept for this sculpture is to not keep banging your head when you come up against a wall.  Sometimes a halt or retreat is the right course of action.... until things open up again and allow an advance.
