Two Sculptures, Two Exhibitions, One Long Trip
In late October Dave and I set off in a 22-ft Penske truck for southern California to install our latest two sculptures in two different juried exhibitions. First stop San Diego where we installed our piece Sprouted Bumbershoot in the Urban Trees 7 exhibition.
Shapely Series Ready for Take-Off
Come late October when the rains have started here in the Portland area, Dave and I will be catching a little sunshine in Palm Desert, California. That’s where we will be installing our latest large scale metal sculpture Shapely Two. The piece was juried into the 2010-2012 El Paseo Sculpture Invitational along with 17 other [...]
An Ode to the Pacific Northwest in Bremerton, WA
Who’s going to let a little rain stop them? Not the new woman in town in Bremerton, Washington. Dave and I recently delivered our 6-foot sculpture Despite the Rain to Pam Bykonen, Arts Commission clerk for Bremerton and our main contact for the project.
Public Sculpture for Bremerton, WA

A Sexier, Shapely Sort of Sculpture
As we wind down from several architectural projects that have been keeping us hopping, Dave and I are finding the mental space and time to focus on sculpture. I’ve been busily applying for calls-for-artists (’tis the season) while Dave’s been refining some of my sculpture designs using Rhino 3-d modeling software. Lately I’ve been hot on making [...]
Hot Rod Angel
I don’t remember who I overheard referring to our new sculpture as Hot Rod Angel, but I had to chuckle. My original idea to explore bold metallic colors came from watching American Chopper and seeing the painters apply multiple layers of yellow and green to a new motorcycle tank. It was bitchin’, and I couldn’t stop thinking [...]
Rise Unveiled
Rise returned from Masic, our powder-coat supplier, donned in a deep translucent and luscious red. The red together with brushed stainless steel is exquisite and completes my vision for the sculpture. To get some good shots of her we took her to our neighborhood park and waited for those magical moments of evening light. Rise [...]

They commissioned seven sculptures, one of which is ours, to be placed along Pacific Avenue, the main walking corridor downtown . We are creating a pedestrian-scale version of our existing sculpture called Despite the Rain. [...]
