artistic
I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life.
art years creating
I'm also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I'm not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on.
challenges next
I'm always looking for the next challenge.
art goal soul
My goal is to make fine art, and fine art comes from the soul. If you have virtuosity and facility, you can take and create something of significance.
people
There are very few people who do what I do.
differences pieces able
There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.
jobs creating want
The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.
illustration drawing
You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.
art jobs school
I never had a job. I bought my first house within a year of getting out of school, and I built a custom one four and a half years later. The Art Center didn't teach much about business, but I learned a lot from the Fortune 500 companies that were my clients.
children helping-others opportunity
Charity work is very important to me and gives me an opportunity to give back to my community. I've always been a big supporter of many different charities, have donated millions of dollars to them, and it just feels great to do and be able to help others, especially children.
