May, or April, Every Day Be Happy Earth Day...

These sculptural pieces relate to a great extent of my returning to my early roots in making art working as an apprentice to Willard Boepple at the Utica Boatworks in Utica NY in the mid 1970's. At the time Willard was working with corten steel. This experience was made available to me as I was finishing as a student in an alternative art educational foundational program at Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute of Art in Utica. Many thanks go out for Willard, my teachers and
my experience there...
