Augie Baroni -- This is a graphite drawing done from a black & white photo of Augie who lives in California. I reached to capture his ever-present happy spontaneity.

Cousin Mary -- A prismacolor drawing like this of my cousin Mary can be very precise and yet subtle as the line is delicate and colors can be overlapped and combined endlessly. This drawing is not for sale.

Connie & Rosemarie -- My dear friend and her granddaughter at the piano. This is an oil painting, 24" x 30", on a gesso panel done from a photo sent to me from San Diego, California.

Karen -- This is a wall relief of my daughter, Karen. As with most all sculptured busts this was first modeled in clay and then a mold was made of it. It was cast in a special concrete (cast stone) made with Monterey White Sand. It is life-size and made to hang on the wall. This one is not for sale.

Maidu Family -- over-life size sculpture in Roseville, California

The Maidu Family - This outdoor public sculpture stands outside of the entrance to the Maidu Community Center in Roseville, California. It portrays a Maidu family, Native Americans indigenous to the area. It stands 13 feet tall overall with the father figure facing West, symbolic of darkness and danger. He is protecting the mother and child who face the East symbolic of light and peacefulness. This sculpture was done in partnership with sculptor, Tommie Moller. We both worked on the design and complete fabrication of this concrete sculpture. Tommie sculptured the mother and child and I sculptured the father figure. It was dedicated and blessed by the eldest living Maidu elder in November 1993.

A true family member. Not for sale.

Uncle Ed -- This is an oil painting 30" x 40". It was commissioned by a family whose favorite uncle had passed away. This painting was done from a black and white photo of Uncle Ed and a grandson getting ready to go fishing.

Doc Louis -- A portrait bust of friend and trusted doctor of many in the town of Loomis, California, this piece was commissioned and completed in cast stone several years before Doc passed away.

Igor Stravinsky -- This is the wax model of a portrait bust ready for bronze casting. This sculpture of Igor Stravinsky has also been done in cast stone. It is one image in a series of classical musicians entitled "The Work of Creation". This piece is available for sale in either cast bronze (limited edition of 30) or cast stone (limited edition of 25).

Frederick Delius -- A one-of-a-kind sculpture carved in alabaster stone, this is a rare piece. As I carved the portrait, the color and striations in the stone appeared to enhance the essential expression of the portrait bust of Frederick Delius as an old man. This piece is also a part of the series of musicians called "The Work of Creation".
