I am pleased to be one of ten recipients of the Arts Council's Grants for Artists Program. I will use the award to study mold making. Plans call for an exhibit and talk at Gallery 108 my experience in June, 2011.

The Grants for Artists Program is supported by the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, and by local individuals.

2010 Sidewalk Art Show, Roanoke VA

Be sure to visit the Sidewalk Art Show in downtown Roanoke,June 5 and 6, 2010.

I will not have my tent at the show this year, but please stop by Gallery 108 and Signature 9 Gallery to see my latest work. Enjoy the show!

Swimming Polar Bear

In the snowy winter months, when I cannot carve in my outdoor studio, I work in clay and pewter. This graceful swimming polar bear is my response to the threat of global warming. Every time you pick up your keys you will be reminded that the polar ice is melting, and the polar bears need our help!

It's also available as a pendant, or free-standing miniature sculpture. See it at Gallery 108, or contact me.

Bluebirds and Daffodils

The snow is finally melting, and my daffodils are valiantly pushing up from below.

The first bluebird of spring showed up about a week ago. He has been back every day since. He sure is puffed up about it, too!
