ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I have over the years created keepsake boxes. When thinking about taking my box work in a different direction, I began thinking of loss and of my past. Inspired by my brother Glenn's mosaic stilt houses, I decided to create elevated boxes. Many years ago I was seriously wounded in Viet Nam. While there I always remember the vision of guard towers and all they represent. I also over the years have lost three of my brothers, all were artists and we were all close. These pieces together or apart, honor all their memories. My hope is that the viewer will see these structures as a place they can also share their own memory, one that can be elevated above all others. They are constructed of varying different woods, in an arts and craft style, intricately assembled, then applied with a hand rubbed finish. They range in height from 18-24 inches. The one pictured is 18 inches tall.

I am a sculptor, woodworker, photographer, raised in Rochester, New York and currently living and working in Prescott, Arizona. My path has taken me in many directions. Years ago I was seriously wounded in Viet Nam. The injuries were many but more importantly I lost much of the use of my left (primary) hand and the sight of one eye. This event forced me to adapt and focus more keenly on my surroundings, my direction, and defining who I am as a person. I received a degree in Studio Art at SUNY Brockport and while there, I studied sculpture and furniture design with renowned sculptors, Wendell Castle and Albert Paley. At that time I also began my photographic experience and realized I had a knack in all media for looking beyond the big picture and focusing on life's minute details. I received a Masters Degree in Art Education from Nazareth College and I worked as an art teacher both in NY and Arizona for close to 25 years. Through my work and my teaching I've tried to convey an appreciation of the joys of life, whether through art or the simple act of helping others. Artistically my path has taken me in many directions. Creating photography and furniture with a focus on the sculptural beauty in both, I continue to get closer and to see what others might not.
