During 2011, when I released this edition, “Babe in the Manger”, I was on a farming kick and had rented some land. I bought two pigs, two goats, ducks and chickens. By the end of the year I realized that I could not spend so much time tending these animals and had to get back to more sculpting, although I did greatly enjoy tending my animals and feeling like a farmer. I sold them all except the chickens and ducks, which we still enjoy getting eggs from. In memory of my animal escapades, I made this sculpture of Baby Jesus with the animals.
Year completed: 2011

The human form is my subject and I use it to present my thoughts, my dreams. Themes that I like are anything that enobles man and messages that bring hope, or a renewal and an appreciation of life itself.
One of my dreams is to travel the world, sculpting all different cultures in their natural surroundings capturing the uniqueness and beauty of the human form.
I have created many sculptures and hope to create many, many more.
