INDEPENDENT SCULPTURE & PUBLIC ART

Art that becomes part of a place.

From a gesture in bronze to a landmark on the skyline, I create enduring sculpture that brings people, stories, and spaces together.

IDEA TO INSTALLATION

Thoughtful in concept.
Uncompromising in craft.

My practice connects the artistic and the technical: drawing, sculpting, digital design, molds, bronze casting, metal fabrication, and the practical demands of installing finished work.

A sculptor's eye.
A maker's hands.

I'm a sculptor and creative designer based in the Louisville, Kentucky area. Since 2008, I've created independently commissioned work ranging from intimate bronze memorials to architectural-scale public landmarks.

I believe the strongest sculpture balances character and emotion with the discipline needed to actually build it. My approach is hands-on, carrying projects from the earliest conversations and models through casting, fabrication, finishing, and final installation.
