Exhibit at the Rivers Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, MI

This month has been very exciting for a lot of people in Wyandotte, Michigan.  An art exhibit has been on display called the "Four Petals and a Stem".  The exhibit has a theme of floral art in Photography and Metal Sculpture.  Patt Slack the Lead Designer and Jeremy Hansen  the Gallery Director of Rivers Edge Gallery presented this exhibit.   One of the Artist is only 12 years old "Lily Arnett", she is an inspiration for the young and elders of the arts.

Business Card Holders

Having art in your Office indicates that you are a leader, social minded person, and you have a sense of pride in someone else's work.
The Begonia Card Holder measures 13" x 12" and is made of Stainless Steel that has been acrylic painted.

Flight of the Seed

"Flight of the Seed"
Measurement:  17" x 20"
Medium:  Stainless Steel

The composition is a mixed subject of floral design with bird.  My wife wanted to see a Bird of Paradise arrangement made and I wanted to work on a Bird so a search began.  The results was quite astounding after some sketches were made and crossing the creative line.

The Bird of Paradise is the head of course!

The Bird body is the Hoatzin of Africa.

History of Artist Techniques

As we all know history will exchange paths at one time or another on the things we do. The artist conducted a search for quite sometime to find the exchange of his "Artistic Balance".

The art of Mr. Christoph Beck of Basel, Switzerland, 1682 is very close in technique and style. Mr. Beck made the "Crown of the Silver Guild" and presented it to the Royal House of Switzerland. The primary difference is the mediums, he used the malleable alloy Silver and I use Stainless Steel.

I have challenged myself to create sculptures of refined detail with the style of ancient world metal work that holds a modern twist. With a painterly style, layering of translucent acrylics brings out the details of the "Single Blow and Repousse' techniques". A subject line that is taken from the essence of nature for a full body art by making a balanced composition. High expectations for quality, an art style for those that demand better things in their life style.

Deeper Art designed by the Collector

A lot of times an Artist gets trapped in their own work and has a hard time breaking their pattern of thought. Currently, I am breaking that thought pattern by working with Collectors to create "Consumer Centric" compositions within their liking. My creativity will be centered and focused on the Collectors decor and style of living.

"Wandering Fantasy" is a wall art composition for a Collector that measures 33" wide and is 48" high. The main topic is the Pink Clematis which spans the entire height of the art. The introduction of the Wandering Jew at the top center is flowing into the main stream of the art.

Rosa Boarder

The sculpture design "Rosa Boarder" was made as a ceiling art piece that is suitable for our home as an illustration of the design. The composition is made of Stainless Steel and is Acrylic painted that measures 8 inches high x 5 feet long. The artist is currently working in Stainless Steel for a "Green" material as to help our recycling efforts. This material comes from a local sheet metal company "J&J SheetMetal Company in Clinton Twsp, MI.
