Here's a couple of guys coming together in my shop on a beautiful spring day in Portlandia!

New wall pieces................they are sold individually however look great all together......(each are about 5" wide by about 3' long)

I just had to make another one of these garden benches.........

New Wall Sculptures

This wall sculpture is about 2ft around.................I love circles!  You might not be able to see it, but there's a metal ruler in there too.......just under the top orange piece.

New Sculptures

I am excited about these new abstract sculptures for the yard!  Here's five of them.  (I think they would work well inside too.)

Sculpture for a local show

I created this sculpture for a group show at Dragonfire Gallery last month.  The show was called 'The Space Between The Notes' - the source of all creative energy before it is expressed, the experiences that take us to the space between.....

Following is my explanation of how I chose to work with this idea:

When I was contemplating this exercise, the thought that finally took shape was that of ‘movement’.  'The space between' is often thought of as a ‘being’ space, or one of emptiness.  My experience is that always within that place of ‘being’ is an underlying movement.......a trajectory forward that some might call an ‘evolutionary impulse’ or state of becoming.  It’s always in relationship to where it’s been and where it’s going and is therefore inherently informed by that.  My sculpture is intended to express this movement that I experience as an integral aspect of ‘the space between’.

Having Fun

I haven't been on here in awhile and just thought I'd post some more pieces......the family just grows and grows!

              This little deer dreams that one day he might pull Santa's sleigh.......we all need to have a dream.....

                                                 This little guy is holding a solar light........fun to have in the garden!

    Here the group is hanging out in the shop.....excited to find their 'forever homes'!

                 Frank and Naddy are aflutter about recent goings on in the chicken house.......

Finishing my Chair Affair submission

I had no idea what I was going to make to donate to the Community Warehouse fundraiser 'Chair Affair'.  I went to the scrap yard and found some pieces I thought might work.   You never know how something is going to turn out.


I took this photo last night..............I'm pleased with how it's coming along........

.....hearts hearts hearts.......what a great way to start the New Year!

That's my girl!  The one with pigtails in the middle....
