I recently viewed a delightful documentary on Robert Motherwell, the New York School, and the Abstract Expressionists.

The shape of the butternut squash is so wonderful! Here's a video of the process of carving one out of orange alabaster stone.

A suggestion from the Internet helped me to achieve a beautiful natural sheen on my newest sculpture, "Enfold", in black walnut wood.

I was honored to represent Lorrie at her opening reception held at Harmon-Meek Gallery in Naples, Florida. It was a beautiful show!

I don't use sandpaper on my sculptures. Instead, I finish the surfaces using a variety of chisels. Watch this video for a behind-the-scenes peek.

I'm using a vise to hold my black walnut wood piece as I carve a place that's hard to reach. A good vise is like another set of hands!

This pine wood with its exceptionally vivid grain patterns required some very careful carving. But I think the result was worth it!
