Little Harbour Seal

The first sketch for the Little Harbour Seal sculpture was designed so that the forms would be made out of bent metal tubing. However, after some reconsideration of it's placement, I decided to make the shapes into solid forms instead.


Diddy Long Legs

This is a proposal sketch for a sculpture show based in Rochester, NH. The theme of the show is folklore, but otherwise it is completely open. And since I have yet to grow tired of making giant bugs, I thought it would be fun to base this piece on the folklore surrounding spiders.


Ode to the Bumblebee

This sculpture was designed to find a home in a public garden somewhere. It celebrates the symbiotic relationship found in nature. I imagine it to be all sorts of bright, beautiful colors, however I really enjoy the simplicity of the gray tones in the sketch.


Dragonfly Surprise!

This little guy is waiting eagerly to be built... but the idea is to build a blade of grass to have him perched on, preferably near a pond or lake. Oh, and he'll probably be about 15 feet tall when he's done!


The Metal Mantis

These were three different poses for the Metal Mantis sculpture I completed in 2010. The clients and I liked all of them for different reasons, but in the end it was the middle guy that won the show.



Nature Inspired

Here are some sculpture ideas for a rotary being built in Santa Cruz, CA. They were all inspired by the natural setting nearby, some more abstracted than others.








Towering Inferno!

This was a proposed sculpture idea I had for the front of a new fire department that was being built. I imagined it being made out of a golden copper metal, with red lights illuminating it from below.
