Sleeping Dove - Public Sculptures

$ On Inquiry

This is a large version of the Sleeping Dove I made as a yearly award for Harvard Medical School’s Center for Health and the Global Environment. It is carved from a beautiful Brazilian granite with green and red swirling veins. The bird and pedestal reach a height of 63″ and are carved from the same piece of stone.

The small Global Environmental Citizen Awards have been given to Harrison Ford, Jane Goodall, Bill Moyers, Al Gore, Prince Charles, Kofi Annan, Alice Waters, Queen Noor and Edward Norton, and Senator John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz.

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.
