The Negro League Baseball Museum
This museum is designed around notable players on an indoor field. Twelve bronze life-sized figures were installed in 1997 at the historic 18th and Vine in Kansas City. The gala event was hosted by Bob Costas and invocation was given by Ken Burns.
Young Eisenhower
The town of Abilene, KS commissioned me to create a version of their most famous individual, Dwight Eisenhower as a boy. The placement of the statue is in the city park with 360 degree views. The Eisenhower family was involved and concluded the piece as successful.
Seth Hays Memorial
One of Council Groves most prominent citizens was Seth Hays, who at 60 years of age adopted a young girl, Kitty, due to the death of her mother. The citizens of Council Grove requested that a life sized statue of Seth and Kitty be constructed and placed in front of the historic home site of Seth Hays. A young native American girl was also included in the piece as seen in attached photos. The piece was well received and remains a popular tourist attraction.
War Memorial
A roundabout in Junction City, KS was completed in 2011 to commemorate our war heroes. The bronze monolith is placed around an eighteen foot stone and depicts service men in various roles. The piece is especially memorable to me as several of the individuals depicted were family members. Two of the solders were local heroes from Americus, Ks. The twin brothers served together in WWII and one of the young men was fatally wounded, dying in a fox hole in his brother’s arms in Iwo Jima.
Other prominent pieces include the Merrill Lynch Bull located in Armarillo, Texas; Front Façade of NY NY Casino in Las Vegas; Negro League Baseball Players, located in Legacy Square at the Pittsburgh Pirates Stadium in Pittsburgh PA, etc.
