Fiddlehead Family - Public Sculptures

Featured In Norwich Public Library, Norwich, VT

$ On Inquiry

This piece was donated to the library in honor of the donor’s parents, who spent a lot of time in this library. I showed him several ideas before he chose this design from a small model I had made. I have worked with several clients in “giving the gift of art” to a non-profit institution. When the funds are donated directly to the institution for the sculpture, the donation is tax-deductible. This client chose a quote from Emerson to have inscribed on the edge of the circular base/bench along with the names of his parents – “If we can touch the imagination we serve.”

Medium: Brazilian Granite.

Sculpture in Stone and Bronze

My work is inspired by natural forms – human, plant and animal. I enjoy designing site-specific commissions in stone and bronze for corporations, private residential settings and public institutions. In between commissioned work I produce pieces that I often have on hand for sale in stone and bronze. I also design and create gold jewelry, often using subjects related to some of my larger sculptures. I am constantly trying to find ways to use my work to raise awareness about the kinship and interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of environmental conservation.

I began my study and practice of sculpture while a student at Phillips Exeter Academy in the late ’60’s. I went on to Oberlin College and majored in a combination of studio art and art history. After graduating from Oberlin in 1973, I taught sculpture and art at all levels for many years until finally focusing my attention completely on my work.
