Steel sculpture on double-level board w/acrylic painted background, sculptured gears, and hangers - 8" H x 54" W |  Dragons Blood TreeMany-layered steel sculpture on two levels of cradled board w/acrylic painted background - 4 ft. x 2 ft.
Dramatic red on pure black background. The tree has an unusual combination of ferocity and calm, sometimes seen in Asian art. The tree is more archetypal than realistic and projects the aggressive energy of a healthy totem.
At 48” tall by 24” wide, this is clearly a dominant piece, best hung where its dramatic vibe can be appreciated. |

You have to wonder how it got where it is. Why is this single occupant thri |  Fishy Sightseers at a Shipwreck 2Two-level wall sculpture with steel elements on acrylic painted board. The top level is resin encased which enhances the watery feel. 10 x 32 The sunken ship rests on a bit of reef and rock at the ocean’s floor.

The only evidence of their underwater tourism i |  Reaching for JoyThis elegant, 3 foot tall, abstract piece captures the essence of the drive of living things to reach for their joy.
