Frequently asked questions
General
Every piece begins as a model sculpted by hand in oil-based clay. From there, I create a silicone mold and cast the sculpture in bronze using the lost-wax technique—a process that involves a wax model, a ceramic shell, and molten bronze poured at the foundry. After casting, each sculpture is hand-finished and patinated, so no two pieces are ever exactly alike.Want to see how a sculpture transform from clay to bronze? Read my complete guide to the lost-wax casting process and learn about every stage behind each piece.
Yes — commissions are one of my favorite parts of the work. If you connect with my style, I can create a piece on any subject, in any size, for any space. Custom projects begin with a design fee of $1,500, which is applied toward the final sculpture if you decide to move forward. Visit the Commissions page to start the conversation.
Bronze is remarkably durable. For indoor pieces, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth — no chemicals or polish needed, as these can damage the patina. For outdoor pieces, an occasional coat of clear paste wax helps protect the finish. If you ever have a question about your piece, reach out and I'll be glad to help.
