First Flight
After several unsuccessful attempts to launch the paper airplane, I watched Jared concentrate on his technique. With a subtle smile on his face, he prepared to watch the plane fly across the yard.

Let the Trumpet Sound
Angels, scripture tells us, are used as heralds to pass on messages and judgments from God. Scriptures tell us that angels are sent by God to deliver messages and judgement. I believe that God continues to use them as He seeks a personal relationship with his children.
I am sometimes asked where my inspiration comes from. As I was working on a commission of a two year old little girl named Rachel for her parents, the comment I most heard in my studio was: “She looks like such an angel.” at that moment I envisioned an angel taking flight and blowing a shofar (ram’s horn trumpet).

The War Dog Memorial
The sculpture depicts a German Shepherd as if it’s ready to step into the unknown danger ahead.
The monument is dedicated to all the K-9 Soldiers, WAR DOGS OF AMERICA, who have served this nation faithfully and well from the Revolutionary War to the present day as scouts, sentries, and members of search and rescue teams. Serving in all branches of the armed forces, these courageous canines have saved thousands of soldiers, often at the cost of their own lives, and have brought a touch of home to the madness of the battlefield.
This bronze is two times life-size and stands 48 inches tall from the paw to the shoulder. It is mounted on a granite base. It was installed in the spring of 2005, in a park in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York
Demure Bequest
So named because it was a “shy gift”. I was approached by a husband who wanted a tasteful nude sculpture of his wife. When I met his wife, I realized that she was very shy but was willing to pose to please her husband. They were both very happy with the final work of art.
Rachel
This sculpture of a two year old girl captures the moment she ran from the bathtub to greet her daddy as he came home early from work. Her parents were with me as the sculpture went from drawings to the finished clay. As I worked on sculpting her features & all the details like her fingers & face, she would sit on her moms lap eating snacks to help keep her focused.
