I've always had tremendous respect for the individuals who have grown my mind and shaped my Fine Art career: Henry Hopkins first and foremost. I will never forget that man, his friendship, and his immense belief in me and my capacity as an artist. We could talk for hours about art, the world, the community, ourselves. I miss you Henry!
George Herms really excited my mind and introduced me to found objects. He forever changed the way I look at dumpsters. He taught me how to work at scale and to not fear scale. It was because of him I learned how to weld and work with metal.
25 years ago I started to study neon with Christian Schiess at The Crucible in Berkeley, CA. I was thinking about using neon to illuminate my metal sculptures with it's vibrant ambient light. However, I went on to couple the neon with found objects - a practice I continue in my work today.
When a teacher of yours invites you to exhibit your work alongside his, you jump at the opportunity. I am thrilled to be participating in this exhibition with Christian, and many of the amazing artists working with light that I've had the pleasure of collaborating with at The Crucible: Robert Graf, Norman Moore, Dan Cavin, and Kua Patten.
