Drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, welding and metalwork, woodworking, and ceramics; these are some of the skills and experience I bring as an artist.

Drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, welding and metalwork, woodworking, and ceramics; these are some of the skills and experience I bring as an artist. I began making my versions of modern sculpture in my grandfather's workshop before I could see the top of the workbench. I remember once hearing my mom ask "Where's Raymie?" and the reply of my dad, "He's in the basement making sawdust."

When it clicks, my modern sculpture and other original art is visually stunning and emotionally impactful.

All of my original art, whether modern sculpture, oil painting or monoprint is the product of investigation that begins with: I wonder... or What if. This leads to a vision for a series of artistic works that complete the developing vision.
My creative process extends to the development of materials. I use molecular analysis to formulate my unique ceramic glazes. I make charcoal and pastel drawing tools, inks and paints, and use my woodworking skills to frame paintings or make pedestals for my sculpture.
