I am a self taught sculptor from Calgary. Ive been fortunate enough to make a living through creating and selling sculpture for 16 years. Having made 6 monumental public sculptures and thousands of small to life-size pieces I can safely say that I am comfortable with any scale my customers desire. Having worked with bronze, marble, resin, wood , granite, stainless and many semi precious stones I can safely say that I am comfortable with almost any material. when left to my own devices I almost always choose to work with a combination of hard stone and stainless steel. from these media I create pieces that are human or animal or a combination of the two.
I weld body parts such as a head, legs, wings from pieces of stainless steel, then I take these parts to my stone studio where I carve the remaining parts of the creature I am sculpting. after carefully fitting the parts together they are attached with industrial adhesives, given a quick buff and then they are ready for show.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
