My sculpture in stone, wood and metal is in numerous private and corporate collections in this country and abroad. At present I am working on a series of animals in danger of extinction, and have completed the sea lion, polar bear, nighthawk, pelican, white whale, kangaroo, armadillo, seal pup, falcon, tree frog, otter and koala bear. I have been a designer-silversmith, and have exhibited jewelry and flatware in many areas of New Jersey and New York.
