This is a one-of-a-kind piece commissioned by the Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth as a 25th Anniversary gift to their sister city of Sendai, Japan. The sculpture depicts classic Texan animal life and the famous city skyline, but it also includes meaningful symbolism for the people of Sendai. Covid pandemic travel restrictions made this project particularly challenging to complete. But in December of 2022, my wife and I had the honor of traveling to Japan for the official presentation to the city. Local dignitaries and officials were present at the red-carpet ceremony at the Sendai International Center making for an unforgettable visit.

I welcome commissions of all kinds. My sculptures grace the parks and streets of a growing number of cities and towns across the United States. A few have found their way to international places.
