About the Artist....

I was born and raised in Alaska. We lived out in the middle of nowhere in the woods.  There were lots of thrilling memories like hunting moose with my dad, being surrounded by wild dogs, bears trying to break down the door of the house, and playing in 5 feet of snow when you're only 30 inches tall! It was a fun life. We moved to the south a few years ago but I will always consider myself an Alaskan.

I am Dyslexic,  and it is the greatest gift God has given me.  Because of it, I see things differently and can envision things differently.  I view it not as a hindrance but an advantage.

  At age 13, I asked my parents for some clay. I had never sculpted anything before but had a desire to give it a try. At first I sculpted small animals and horse heads.
:bulletgreen: :bulletgreen: I entered local art shows and contests and did pretty well.  I picked up some commissions for sculpting dogs and horses. Soon I found myself overwhelmed with the amount of commissions I was receiving, and at age 14 my dad had to stop the commissions as I was working long days trying to keep up with the orders.  Even at a few hundred dollars apiece, the fun was gone.

My dad contacted some professional sculptors and sent them photos of my work. They were all very impressed and encouraging. I was featured in a couple news papers and was called a child prodigy by a number of well known artists, but even so, I didn't sculpt again for 4 years due to burnout.


I began sculpting again at age 18 and started creating posable baby dragons. The dragons and little creatures were fun to create and I was enjoying sculpting again. I started selling them on eBay and taking some orders as well.  I was finally doing what I wanted to do, using my imagination. The dragons are evolving as I experiment with designs and techniques that enhance the little creatures.  I do not use molds, casts or patterns, each is fully hand made and original.  I now sell them to people in countries around the world.   I'm also an Author and athlete.   All I can say is that I'm deeply honored for the natural ability's God has blessed me with. I just enjoy creating, and sharing that excitement with others. Your compliments are appreciated; I thank you all so much for your kind words.

I always have a minute for leaving a compliment for sculpted art pieces & I like your captured images, especially you & the life that surrounds a sculptor in action. Your products displayed are very believable items. Visually unique.:nod:
