What type of artwork do you create?
Though I often am asked to create works that are more "realistic"
in style, as you explore the photo galleries listed at the left, you will
find a variety of styles. You will see classical-styled terra-cotta
figures, metal sculptures created in a graphic style, and even mural paintings. I also restore damaged work for other artists, collectors
and galleries.

Completed Project:
"The Ann Pamela Cunningham Medal." This award medal, named
after the founder of The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, has
been sculpted in clay and then cast in plaster as shown below.
The reverse features a view of the Mont Vernon mansion as seen
from the river. This 288mm sculpture (aprox 11 inches) was
reduced down to it's 72mm final form by the the Monnaie de Paris.

New version of the "Night" Maquette is now for sale
I have been getting a lot of requests to offer a new series of small
casts of the "Night" model (also know as a "maquettte.") I have
restored one of the original models used for the full-sized version
of "Night" and cast just a few copies of it. This 14" wide x 8" High maquette is hand cast in either resin or hydrocal, a plaster-like product (your choice) for $185. I also offer framing of this piece for an additional $75 and FedEx shipping on this item (and all items) is available at a reasonable rate.

(Shown below cast in Hydrocal,

NEW and NEWS

David O. Cooke aka "Doc" the "Mayor of the Pentagon"
I have just finished sculpting a clay relief of a legendary figure from the Pentagon rennovations, David O. "Doc" Cooke. Doc was the Defense Department's highest ranking civil servant and had worked at the Pentagon for 45 years until his death at age 82. He was credited with saving many lives on 9-11 with the updates and structural improvements he oversaw at the Pentagon.

Sisyphus
I was asked to leave my image of "Sisyphus" pushing the boulder uphill online for a bit longer. This sculpture features a 14" tall welded stainless steel figure and 12" ground steel sphere. The "mountain" ramp is made from 1/8 and 1/4 inch steel plates with an acid-induced rust finish.

Flickering Flame, a steel and stainless steel outdoor sculpture
was completed and is now located at it's new home in the Shenandoah.

It is shown below with Pat Bennet who commissioned the sculpture for her fabulous new garden. The stainless steel grass-like ribbons sway in the breeze.

Detail of Flickering Flame base is shown below:

About "Sketch of the Month"
In addition to finished works shown in my photo galleries, each month I want to show you a "work in progress." This is usually something you might see wandering around my real-world studio. So, even if you are unable to visit Studio 33 as often as you'd like, you can always stop back here and see what's new -online. I hope you enjoy looking at these sketches, works-in-progress and models. Remember to stop back frequently to see what's new in Studio 33.
