A New Pasture!

I am so pleased to announce the new home of Huntley & Brinkley at

The Luther Burbank Center for the Arts – Santa Rosa, CA

It was a multi day installation. Nothing ever goes quite as smoothly as one would like. This was no exception. Buried pipes were unearthed while digging and had to be reckoned with before proceeding with the installation of Brinkley.

Huntley came refreshed after receiving a fresh powder coat and wrap for transport to the site.

Their location is fabulous! They joined the Art Walk surrounding the center and have a sensational view of Route 101 and best of all, evenings of music to dance to.

Brinkley made it to the site!

Passers by heading north to Healdsburg and beyond have a great view of these fellows.

Many thanks to the the Luther Burbank Center’s Visual Arts Committee and Anita Wiglesworth!

Ricardo

Ricardo has been my most complex and colorful sculpture to date…….. At just over 6 feet he’s pretty darn charismatic.

The layering of powder coated aluminum plates has been one way for me to achieve multiple colors in a sculpture.

In the future I hope to be able to combine two or more colors on a single plate of aluminum through some very creative powder coating. Stand by!

Baths and R&R

The Sheeeep! are back at the studio for some much needed baths and R&R before heading back to pasture. Huntley & Brinkley have weathered 3+ years in the field. Aside from being really, really dirty they have held up beautifully. Powder-coating is an amazing finish!
