In 2009, I went to Australia for the first time to visit my younger daughter who was studying abroad in Sydney at the time. She had purchased a very unique didgeridoo, which is a wind instrument originally used by the aboriginals. When she graduated college and rented her first apartment, she asked me how she should display the beautiful piece as artwork. Not knowing much about woodworking, I created a base for the instrument and was pleased with my craftiness. 

After my first “project,” I started watching YouTube videos and began creating different wood pieces as a hobby. Although I enjoyed crafting vases and tables, I felt like there was an alternate medium that would be more fun and different, which I found using stainless steel.

I’ve created larger and more diverse sculptures in Old Chatham, NY over the last decade as well as built a vineyard and winery so that people can enjoy locally grown and produced wine while sitting and walking around my sculpture garden. Here are some of my pieces that I hope you enjoy. I’ve used some of the sculptures on my wine labels and am always being inspired to bring my ideas into fruition. Seeing your creativity unfold is one of the greatest gifts. I’ve been inspired by many artists and I hope to be a point of inspiration for others as well.
