As far back as I can remember I have liked to draw which I still do; I believe drawing is the foundation for all forms of art. My working career was construction, which left me little time to practice my art, but I did make time many years ago to attend life drawing and watercolor classes, and I joined a local guild to sell my work. In the 80’s I attended art classes at Front Range Community College; this is where I studied sculpture and pottery. Pottery seemed to suit me so I continued to study pottery at the college and the Arvada Center. Sculpture always remained in my thoughts so when I had time I attended drawing and terra-cotta sculpture classes at the Art Students League of Denver. A few years ago I meet Steve Boyce who owns a foundry in Arvada; he got me started creating bronze sculptures. Once in a while I will gather my junk steel and weld together what I call a junk steel sculpture which I place around my yard. Now that I have survived life to this point, helped my wife raise our three kids, and retired I will have more time to continue learning and growing in the practice of art.
