I took up sculpture late in life and have regretted not starting earlier ever since. As the nephew of a Master Artist of the Five Civilized Tribes and Chickasaw Hall of Fame Inductee, I hesitated to attempt an art at which my Uncle had so excelled. I now realize that I do not have to match his success or compare our work. I create my sculptures for my own satisfaction and the joy I get from creating. I try to tell a story with each of my sculptures. I enjoy Native American subjects and especially like telling the history of the Chickasaw people. |
