Here are 3 views: front, side and back of ‘Echoes of the Past’. A wise and proud Indian Chief honors the front of this clay pre-cast, while the sacred ruins of ‘Mesa Verde’ ’echo’ of a lost culture on the back.
To be cast as a Limited Edition in Bronze of 25. ‘Echoes of the Past’ has just recently opened for pre-cast sale and can be visited on display at Hueys Fine Art Gallery .
You can view this new pre-cast while I work on it at Hueys Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe. Also, I will be creating a three foot version of this piece this summer! See the process follow below.

Hello everyone,
I thought I would share with you the process of painting a recent 24″ by 36″ Southwestern still life. Here in the first image you will notice I am just looking to get the canvas completely covered with basic tones. I am working in acrylic here so speed is essential because of the quick drying time. You will notice I keep a spray bottle handy to spritz my canvas and my palette if necessary.
I painted ‘Four Running Horses’ within the home of where is was commissioned to be hung, in St. George Utah. The very exciting thing about this painting is that from start to finish this painting was completed in a total of 3 days! My customer in this case also actually worked along side me on this painting. This was both instrumental in allowing me to teach her some very advanced painting skills, while also very helpful in that we were able to complete this painting together much faster than if I had been working on it alone. In many ways this was an ideal setup for both myself and my customer. I welcome more arrangements like this one for the future!

Clay is the medium I sculpt in to arrive with a finished piece, which is then molded and cast in bronze. However there is a lot to the beginnings of each piece, even before bronze casting. below I have added the stages in between from it’s armature beginnings: LEFT to the near finished clay sculpture: RIGHT.
I am currently working on a number of precasts to build my new work portfolio. I am also painting as well. Here are a few of my new works. Of course, I will detail the process in other posts, but I wanted you to be able to see what’s been happening since the gallery closing.
First of all, I wanted to apologize to all for my lack of posts during the last two months. It was unavoidable considering what has been happening with the gallery and my transition to another studio. And now, what’s been happening…
This is my first video showing a new, smaller version, of “Wind Dancer”.

Hi everyone,
Sometimes I have clients ask me to create a mural for the sculpture backdrop. This is one example of a mural I did recently for my “To Chase a Dream By Moonlight” sculpture. The purpose was to have the mural provide a complementary backdrop that harmonizes, not only with the theme, but also the prevailing landscape around the clients home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I sculpted this monument work at the Mountain Trails Gallery in Santa Fe, NM. The sculpture is entitled “Alliance of Brothers”. At first glance, most people assume that the “brothers” are the two wolves, but look more closely…. (more…)
