Being born into a family with generations of German
artists, I was almost destined to become an artist.
At age 5, I had my first solo exhibition of paintings in Michigan . . . And
Art continued thereafter as my
central focus of life. I completed studies at Michigan State University, the
University of Wisconsin,
the Art Institute of Chicago and the San Francisco Art Institute.
I live and
work between the Northcoast
of California and New Mexico. My work can be found in private, corporate, and
museum collections
throughout America and in Western Europe. Many forms of art have played a part
in my world of expression.
My sculpture ranges from figurative realism to minimalist abstract . . .
monumental to minimal in size.
Materials used include corten steel, stainless
steel, wood, stone and more.
Each new commissioned project dictates the range of expression. The rules come
from the heart.
