The Gentry Chess Set Sculpture

After 24 years of service, I retired from the United States Air Force in January 2012. While this marked the end of a great career, it allowed me to pursue an alternative goal, building and selling houses, lasting until retirement in 2019. Art has been a constant throughout my life including drawing, painting, woodworking, stained-glass, and custom scaled models. With retirement underway, the desire to engage in a new form of art ignited and thus started my exploration into sculpting. This led me to seek out and learn from a few very gifted artists, and I cannot express my gratitude enough to those who generously gave their time and personal insights. My work includes a variety of human, animal, and inanimate objects. With the next chapter in my life now underway, the adventure begins! I hope each piece will inspire and enrich a home or public space for all to enjoy. Rick Peters
