I was recently invited to exhibit at Shine (the Cancer Care Alliance gift shop) for the South Lake Union Art Walk on October 1. It's a lovely space and I'm excited to have been selected! If you're in the area and would like to check it out, the work will be on display from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at:<br />

Between the mold-making and wax-chasing stages of production, I realized that the head structure had major problems which needed to be resolved. It was hard to do because the wax used for casting is very hard but the forms had to be built up later using a softer wax which comes in a different color, making the result almost impossible to read. It's not my finest hour, but at least it's done.<br />

This is one of the new bronzes on exhibit in Kirkland. Jonathan the patina artist and I had fun on Thursday working out a different look that captures the sensual quality of skin and I think it also works well with the lighter opaque patina on "Amanda".<br />

The Parklane Gallery has invited me back! The exhibit will start on March 3, but several of my best and most recent bronzes won't be completed until the end of the month. In time for the April art walk which will happen in downtown Kirkland on Friday 4/10. The images below are of a five week terra cotta study.<br />

I had only five weeks (15 hours) to complete this 1/3 life sized sculpture. The pose was quite complex as well. It's a bit rough around the edges, but provided a good challenge. Since it doesn't have any armature, it can also be fired.<br />

I've started a new sculpture at the Gage reserved studio. These photos represent progress from a little under four sessions. Pretty soon, I'll need to decide what hairstyle will complement that attitude! Here are some new photos showing progress after seven sessions.<br />

It's been a few weeks since I posted images of the figure study that I'm currently working on at the Gage Academy's reserved sculpting studio. She has all of her parts now, but still needs some work on the head and extremities. Time permitting, I'm thinking of remodeling her right hand to hold an apple...<br />

Here are a few photos of my latest WIP after 8.5 hours with the model. After blocking the figure I spent the last 5 or 10 minutes of the session starting to map in the face and hair. The next stage will be to finish the secondary forms and start with the tertiary level of detail. There are a lot of compound curves in this one which is always fun!<br />

The Gage Academy held their annual open house and "Drawing Jam" this weekend. For those who haven't been, it's 12 hours of fun for the entire family. There are models, activities and live music in all of the studios, food, cocktails and even free art supplies!<br />
<br />
This small clay sketch took an hour to complete under comically distracting circumstances. After 10 minutes of work, a musical ensemble entered the (small) room with a drum set, microphone etc. Their entourage squeezed between me and the wall; looming over my shoulder as I worked. Luckily, I had earplugs.<br />
