Update

2010-11-05T11:36:00.000-06:00

Tim was asked to do a christmas tree ornament for the Springville Museum of Arts Religious and Spiritual 25th annual show. The ornaments are being auctioned off by silent auction to raise money to continue the show. He also entered in a new piece "Tree of Life". This turned out to be one of my favorite pieces. Unfortunately, we were in such a hurry to get it there, we have no pictures of it. The piece won a merit award which was rewarded with a certificate at a nice ceremony at the opening reception.

This weekend we are sharing a booth at the cowboy poetry event in Heber. It looked like a fun event and a lot of fun vendors and entertainment. If you want a fun day, take a trip to Heber.

We are a part of the Oh Sweet Sadie show which is next weekend at Daybreak SoDa Row.

T-Wrecks has been moved.

2010-09-24T21:50:00.000-06:00

T-Wrecks has been moved. It is now in front of a yard and garden center that sells those cool big pots for planting in. The center has fire pits and fountains made out of the pots, The center is on State street and about 8600 S. on the West side of the road.

"High Octane"

2010-08-03T17:22:00.000-06:00

I finally have a picture of one of my favorite pieces. To me, Tim got this just right. I think that everyone else agreed as well. This piece got a merit award in the Springville Museum of Art's 86th Annual Spring Salon. The second year in a row he won an award. The piece is also on the first page of the annual book published of select pieces from the 86th Salon. The director of the Museum told Tim that this piece was one of the favorite pieces of the show.

Kokopelli

2010-07-02T22:50:00.000-06:00

Tim is doing some less expensive pieces for a pot shop on State street. It amazes me that even though we keep saying he needs to have less time in the pieces, they are still a piece of art and show Tim's creative work. My favorite piece is the kokopelli.

"Raptor"

2010-07-02T22:18:00.000-06:00

"Full Throttle"

2009-06-20T19:28:00.005-06:00

Throttle" was made specifically for a competition at the Eccles Art Gallery in Ogden. We picked up the flier and Tim saw that it had the theme of 'Western Art' and knew exactly what he was going to do. By the time we got home, he even had it named. For "Full Throttle" Tim built from the outside in. Instead of starting with an engine crank, Tim started with a piece of burl which entailed building around it and then finishing the wood and putting it in as some of the last pieces.

Tim working on the latest project.

2009-06-19T23:23:00.002-06:00

Newest Piece "Big Head, Little Arms"

2009-05-20T20:29:00.005-06:00

This is Tim's latest piece. If you can see, the inside is not an engine crank as usual, but a piece of wood. The piece is balanced on the piece of wood at the bottom and will bounce when nudged. "Big Head, Little Arms" was juried into the Springville Museum of Art and it's 85th Spring Salon. It won a Merit Award. There were 1100 entries and only 253 accepted with 50 Merit Awards. We feel honored getting in as it was our first time of applying. The show runs thru July 5. It is a beautiful gallery and they have a good selection of really great pieces. You can find more information at www.smofa.org.

"Childhood Fantasies"

Childhood Fantasies is a piece I was commissioned to do by the FOUS IV. They wanted a piece that was interactive and could be enjoyed by all ages and cultures. It has been displayed at West Fest in West Valley City as well as the advertising piece for the FOUS (Faces of Utah Sculpture)IV at the Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley City. Each of the red knobs creates a reaction, whether it is squirting water or making a noise. When it is displayed it is enjoyed by all and always brings a crowd.

"The Guardian"

The Guardian is my first sculpture, and the start of my career as an Artist. The piece is one solid piece of Tamarisk. The wood itself is very valuable in that it has a considerable amount of burl. The burl in the wood and the way it grew tells the story of the wood's life.

Available as a bronze

"Spot"

My wife calls this spot because it came from the workshop into the livingroom and it needed to be nice to stay in the house. Spot is made from automotive parts, metal, and bone. The head and vertebrae are from a deer.
