About The Artist

My first career of forty years was as an aerospace engineer in industry and NASA. I performed engineering research and participated in major aeronautics and space development programs. Contributing to the manned lunar program was particularly rewarding to me. While working for NASA, I attended studio art classes at Montgomery College, MD. For years, my primary interest was oil painting along the Potomac river or at remote sites in Montgomery County. One of the few pieces of sculpture I created while taking art classes was made of thin wood plies and is the origin of my current sculpture. I finally developed a technique to deal with large plies or ribbons of wood to achieve a light, free sculptural form.
