The sculpture features three spheres that represent the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of our world.
The spheres will be painted in three contrasting colors, each of which has been chosen to symbolize different environmental concerns. The first sphere is a reminder of the need to protect and conserve our natural resources. The second sphere reflects the way human lifestyles can have a detrimental effect on the environment. Finally, the third sphere serves as a reminder of how interconnected human actions and nature are, and the need to work together to safeguard the world. Through this sculpture, I want to express the importance of understanding and respecting the environment and recognizing the impact our actions can have on our planet. I have made a Marquette of this piece and will be constructing it to full scale this summer.
I grew up in South Western Michigan on the shores of Lake Michigan where I was influenced by the woods, the fields and the beauty of Lake Michigan. Growing up in that environment, shaped the way I perceived the world and allowed me to develop my interest in art and creativity. I took it upon myself to learn how to weld in late 1990’s. Once I accomplished that, I began to make large metal fabricated sculptures. Currently, I continue to teach as a full-time Professor of Graphic Design at Western Connecticut State University and I paint, sculpt, and design. I live with my family in Litchfield county in the beautiful Northwest Hills of Connecticut.
My artwork has been shown extensively and can be found in many public and private collections throughout the United States.
