A few thoughts from the artist...

If you haven't heard already, a fire destroyed my company. My wife and I watched helplessly as twenty-five years went up in smoke. But as in nature, the fire made way for abundant "new growth", a new beginning.

Standing at the crossroads of life, I had a lot of decisions to ponder. For a time I decided to completely retire, as this business has been quite good to me. However, I missed my art and the connection I had to collectors. After much consideration, I elected to go back to the 'field of my dreams"...art. But this time, there would be changes.

I made decisions that will benefit collectors worldwide. I decided to retire several pieces, severely limit production and make smaller versions so everyone could afford to collect my sculptures.

Beginning with the new "millennium", we will only sell to a "select few" dealers in each state. We will limit production of larger works to 3,500 pieces or less! Lastly, no more "big business"! I love my work and have vowed to keep my company small for evermore. This reduced production means that there will probably not be enough to go around. I realize that this may make it harder for you to find my sculptures but then again...isn't that what makes an artist's work special and even more collectible?

It's a "new dawn" for all of us here at the studio. A fresh start. A chance for us to reach new collectors and expand on what has become a wonderful collectible series. I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to dealers and collectors everywhere for the support and patience you have shown me while we rebuilt the company. I hope you enjoy the new pieces and changes! Call us toll free anytime for any reason and be sure to visit our website often!
