Commissions

I work with each client from inspiration to installation. I begin the process by meeting with the client to understand their goals and vision, then embark upon my own research and sketching, then move to making a clay maquette (small “sketch” of the intention). Upon client approval, I will then work on sculpting the final form, after which a mold is made, a wax positive is cast, and the piece is cast in bronze or other medium appropriate for the piece. The final sculpture is either mounted to a base or permanently installed on location.

Please contact me if you are interested in commissioning a sculpture or inquiring about the availability, prices and further description of the works on this website.
