Reverence - Public Sculptures

Featured In South Burlington, VT

$ On Inquiry

Reverence represents two tails of whales diving into an imaginary sea of grass. After spending ten years at its original site in Randolph, VT, the sculpture was sold and moved to South Burlington VT as the centerpiece of a proposed sculpture park (see “Ammonite Fountain” which is also at this site). Carved from 36 tons of African black granite, this piece was chosen to grace the cover of a college art history textbook called “A World of Art” by Henry Sayre. A two page description of the piece is in the book.

Medium: 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.
