When making sculptures out of wax, one of the sculpture that I made and decided to cast in bronze was that of a statue of myself. Out of my artwork only a few can be considered self portraits. When I was inspired to make this piece I decided to cast it so I had more self portraits in my collection.

The Cactus was a commission inspired by the Southwest, with the commissioner asking specifically for the item to be both a foot in height as well as based on their favorite cactus. The reason behind the name was that the first idea was that the cactus would be covered in spines. The idea was scrapped in the end, with a replacement being small flowers placed on top of each of the cactus arms, thus it was a “Cactus With No Glochids.”

The lock and key were and experiment with wax to create two everyday items. I wanted these two items to be connected to one another, and what better pair than a lock and a key.

The leaf was made using a patterned press, and rolling a piece of metal folded in half and cut in a curve. After being rolled, the metal was split open to make a good leaf shape, which is now being held by a copper stem.

The Brass Spider was the first brass sculpture I made, so it was an experiment figuring out the steps and process to make it. Sculpting it from wax and watching as it takes a metal shape was quite the feeling.

These small trees were a commission and used by the client as gifts for friends during the holidays. Each tree was meant to be unique whether it was the size, number of branches, or the branch positions, but all the trees had one thing in common; the single leaf that they each held.

The Beast was a sculpture that was meant to experiment between 2D and 3D, with the goal being something that was flat yet still popped out (literally) to the viewer.

This wax sculpture started as only a dead tree, with a gaping hole in its trunk and barren roots and branches. It was too barren for my liking so I added two detail to the dead tree, a small shriveled leaf on one of its branches and a small black bird who watches over it.

The sunken ship was an experiment to attempt to make a sculpture that was a “scene in action.” While the tentacles were easy to make, it took more time then expected to make the ship, as well as position it with the tentacles to make a conveying seen.

Making The Hanged Man was something I enjoyed, with everything coming together the way I wanted where it could have gone wrong. The Hanged Man was meant to be something abstract, but easily interpretable tp those viewing it.

The enemy territory sculpture was made to be a showcase for my models. It was meant to help them stand out against the orange and black background as well as add some perspective and story to where they currently stand.
