Projects: I completed work on a large 11'6" x 4' bronze bas relief for Miami University's geology building representing south west Ohio's marine fauna during the Ordovician time period. I also completed work on a diplodocid dinosaur for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis as part of their renovated "Dinosphere Exhibit".

At a past IX show it was suggested to me that I should sculpt an eastern or asian style dragon. It sounded like a good idea and after a bit of research into the chimera-like nature of these dragons the sculpture, Celestial Dragon was created. Celestial Dragon is depicted "swimming" through the clouds, rarely seen on the ground and masters of camouflage in the sky, the sculpture shows this dragon in its preferred home. Celestial Dragon is cast bronze mounted on a sculpted and cast base. The sculpture is approximately 29"H x 36"L x 20"D
