My ETSY Shop


 My favorite sculptures are those which would be called 'tabletop' sculptures. 
They range in size from 18 to 36 inches.

However, because I have limited space, I started 
creating smaller pieces. 
These pieces are easier to store and transport, 
and also are quite suitable for shipping,
as the freight costs are affordable.



It is for this reason that I opened an ETSY shop.
ETSY is an online medium for selling handmade goods 
and is especially suited for selling smaller works of art.

'UNTOOLED' A new look at our fathers'tools



Untooled is my newest series of sculpture.
This series looks back at the artistry inherent in vintage tools.

The tools that were used to build the Brooklyn Bridge, the model T, and the Eiffel Tower 
were designed with the same attention to beauty, functionality, and durability
as the structures they were designed to build.

Rather than creating artworks using tools as an element in a larger piece,
Untooled attempts to show the tools as works of art 
in and of themselves.

All of these tools were used by craftsmen in various disciplines
to build the America we know today.

2013



As the new year begins, I thought I'd
just post a few photos of some of my
sculpture from the past year.

Two Piece Commission

 
 
 
 



My Gloucester County College show was
a great success. It was at the show that I was
approached by a woman who was impressed
by my sculptures created from old tools. She
had a pile of her father's old tools and asked
if I would be able to use them to create a
sculpture to memorialize her Dad. We decided
that I would take a look at the tools and see
what possibilities arose.





Time passed (she had to travel to New York
to retrieve the tools). I had pretty much forgotten
about it when she gave me a call. We made an
appointment at which time she presented to me
a box full of really neat and unusual tools. She
now wished for me to make two small pieces
and she would keep one and surprise her brother
with the other.




After playing with them, arranging
and rearranging them, I came up with
these designs.

Here are a few photos.

GCC

 
 
 
On September 6, 2013 I will be a featured
artist at the Dr. Ross Beitzel Art Gallery. The
Gallery is located at Gloucester County College,
in Sewell, NJ.
 
The Gallery has featured the fine art of prominent
artists from all over the globe as well as those
artists closer to home.
 
 
 




Although I never graduated, I did attend GCC
in the early 1970's. I even took an art class from
Dr. Beitzel, when he and I were both quite a bit
younger.


I remember many times as a student there, wandering
around admiring the art. Never did I think that
one day I would have my art on display.
 
I am honored to have been selected to show
my work at the gallery.
 
 
 
 

It has been a long time since that class with
Dr. Beitzel. It will be exciting to return to GCC.
Details of the show are available here.

I Gotta Get Better




I really must do a better job of keeping
current with my posts. It seems there
is always something else to do.













Since my last post, I have been busy.
I've had shows in Millville, Ocean City,
Lancaster and Berwyn.

I've also been doing well on my Etsy
shop. You can view my Etsy shop
here.

I have a show coming up next month
at Gloucester County College. I will
be posting more about that next week.
I promise.


All the pieces shown on this page
have found new homes. I hope their
new owners enjoy them as much
as  did
