Service Description:
With 30 years in the arts and more than 20 years in sculpture I am equally skilled in commercial & fine art fabrication, design and pre visualization. I have expert knowledge in the use of Polyester, Urethane, Epoxy, Aqua-Resin, foam carving, clay, plaster, and paper mache’. I'm equally accomplished in life castings, hyper realistic figure construction, welded armatures, silicone, fiberglass and, plaster mold making and, I am comfortable working in both Windows and Mac environments. For more information and a fun trip through an amazing portfolio please visit my blog.
My work has been applied to the services of: Museums, Galleries, Motion Pictures, Video, Theatre, Theme & Amusement parks, Parades & Special Events, Display, Architecture and Prototypes, Trade Shows and Product design.
I’ve worked on and created pieces for numerous, important studios and clients including but, not limited to: MGM, Warner Bros, Amblin, Pixar, Disney, Henson, United Artists, HBO, Marvel Comics, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade ( where I served as chief sculptor, design associate and personal assistant to Manfred Bass for 12 years) , The NY Christopher Columbus Parade, Fox, Scholastic, Nickelodeon, Met Life, Sega, Animal Planet, AOL.
I had the great privilage of working for StudioEIS for the better part of 2 years. There, I was afforded the great opportunity of working with and learning from some of the very best figure and portrait sculptors from around the world. In my time there, I participated in the construction of more than 100 figures destined for museums and public installations including: The National Postal Museum, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of the Marine Corps, Griffith Observatory, George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens and Morristown Green to name a few.
I have just finished a 1 year engagement as Lead Sculptor for Carole Feuerman in order to facilitate her numerous shows. Carol Feuerman is an internationally recognized pioneer of Hyper Realistic sculpture and is noted in the same echelons as Dwain Hanson, John De Andrea, Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Mark Sijam and Sam Jinks. In that time, I managed production, brought new techniques that effectively streamlined fabrication, sculpting and casting works for: The Jim Kempner Gallery NY, Moretti Gallery Florence, Beijing Biennale, Beijing Olympics, Amarillo Museum of Art, Shanghai art Fair, Art Basil, Art Miami, El Paso Museum of Art.
