As much as I love bringing someone else’s vision into bronze reality and exceeding their expectations, whenever I’m doing commissions, I’m always thinking, “If I had my own way, what would I sculpt?”
I love to sculpt people, and my favourite people to sculpt are the elderly, with their character and wisdom. I rarely get the opportunity to sculpt more than one figure, but I am always on the lookout for it because it’s a lot of fun for me to plan how they will interact subtly with each other while also looking available to interact with passers-by. A sculpture on a bench cannot turn you away; it extends an invitation to all who walk by to stop, take a load off, and enjoy a few moments with them. I have received many notes from people telling me of how they have visited one of my publicly commissioned bench sculptures, viewing them as a friend during a hard time. Some place fresh flowers in a sculpture’s hands every day. They have met them as if meeting a friend and poured out their hearts to someone who would never say the wrong thing, betray, or grow weary of listening; my bench sculptures have been a safe confidant to many! ...MORE
'The Face Off' Photos of my latest sculpture, an enthusiastic coach with a little girl & boy peewee (aka Timbits in Canada!) which I installed outside the Servus Arena in Red Deer Alberta on April 18, 2018.
This was a really fun piece for me to sculpt. Every famous hockey player started here...and every one of them had a dedicated coach and a worn out Mom or Dad getting them up and to the rink in the wee hours of the morning!
I just installed it yesterday. Please welcome this new police officer sculpted for the City of Lacombe's police station.
Excited about this latest commission!! Life-size FIREFIGHTER sculpture for the City of Richmond. Here is a quick time-lapse look into the making of. Appreciate the support!
