The Dancing Painter
The Dancing Painter was sketched in 2007, bringing together ideas of organic form found in nature, and human expression.
Studies were later done in plastic resin of the same form, and in 2017 Dancing Painter bronze castings were created.
Expression of joy and happiness through movement reflected in some of the energy for this piece - moving from sketches to maquette studies, then to clay original and bronze casting.
Gait
Abstract Figure Sculpture
Gait began as a series of sketches.
A full scale fabrication drawing was made, and a model was built from aluminum wire, wood, and foam.
A 3-D computer form was generated from measurements taken from the model. Prior to bronze casting, a 3-D printing was made of the sculpture (shown in the 4-part assembly at left).
