Vertical Dam
Inquire about this piece
This work was created without nails or screws and is composed of several hundred individual stacked pieces of wood, depicting a dam. Inspired by the work of beavers, the wood has a natural flow, and the inner armature has words of peace hidden within the inner frame as if to say the art is prayer.

I’m a master painter, sculptor, photographer, and professor of art, with a history of creating award-winning art and exhibition installations from the late ‘60s to the present. I’ve been featured in over 23 public and one-man shows at museums and galleries internationally. In 1973 I received a BFA from East Carolina University, then attended Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, CA, where I won the Hancock Park Art Award for excellence in painting before earning my MFA in 1975. My work is centered on expressing the spiritual within nature and life.
