Happy Holidays!

T BARNY SCULPTURE
Wishing You & Yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I just finished 4 new pieces this month. The one pictured above just got photographed this week. It's titled NAIAD. I carved it from Argentine Onyx. It stands 19"H x 10"W x 6"L. It's available to be gift wrapped and placed under your tree. HoHoHo Who's on your pedestal?
Usually for Christmas, we are on the road traveling somewhere. This year, however, we actually got a tree and it's trimmed in little white lights. 'Tis the season to think back on this year and look forward to next year. 2011 is the year that I will be celebrating carving sculpture for 30 years. Stay tuned for all the excitement we have planned to celebrate those 30 years. Cheers!

Did you know that it is ARTrails 25th Anniversary? I was one of the artists who helped coordinate the very first ARTrails. As I flashback to 1985, I remember a group of us artists were looking for a way to get the public to our studios. It was a big year for me as that is when my 20' x 20' studio space was built. I invite you to come on out and see my studio now, hear ARTrails stories and see my new bronze "Gem" Collection.
I just finished 6 more new pieces for this first ARTrails weekend. Four of them are carved from Utah Calcite like the one shown above. It is always a favorite stone and glows in the sunlight. The other two are carved from Picasso Marble and Brucite. They are more directional in design. I've let the stone tell me what it wants to do by drilling it first and then through the transition of veining and texture, I carve the design into pointed curves. Typically, I have a preconceived idea of the design. These two new pieces are completed through this transition process of letting it flow from the rock.
I hope to see you this weekend or next. Cheers to ARTrails!
