Sculpture for Scarborough Faire

My latest commission has been installed at a wonderful shopping center called Scarborough Faire in Duck, NC. Recently I visited the site and introduced visitors to stone carving during their "Faire Days" held every Wednesday throughout the summer.

The theme of the stone sculpture is shells found on the North Carolina Coast. The sea provides us with a natural treasure hunt and a walk down the beach is never the same once you begin to recognize a few shells. It is my hope that the sculpture will encourage people to be more conscientious stewards of our coast by taking an interest in shells and the creatures that inhabit them.

OBX TOTEM Unveiling

The OBX TOTEM had its unveiling on October 15, 2009. The location of the sculpture is Kill Devil Hills, N.C. The totem is placed in front of the Dune Garden located in front of the Baum Center on Mustian Street. When you pass the Wright Brothers National Park going south, take first right and the next left and you'll drive right by it.

An Italian Sabbatical

I took leave from my job as a high school art teacher from September 2008- January 2009. From November to December I researched the master works of Bernini and Michelangelo and rented studio space for stone carving in Pietrasanta, Italy.
