Showcasing the Process of Art - Chainsaw Carving on Display!

Growing up in a logging town meant using a chainsaw, but I use it to make sculptures… sized big to bigger. Quite viewable from the road, the works-in progress are my cheapest and surest advertising. I show-case the “process” of creativity, even favoring monumental statuary, since the huge monuments are darned hard to ignore!

At age15 and not yet old enough to drive, my mother drove me to work after school—to run my first studio/gallery. There, visitors watched me work, tossing questions over a protective rail.

In my late teens, rotary power tools defined my carving process and I traded “power-sculpting performances” for booth space at art shows, usually attracting the local media, who have always taken interest in my activities.

I came to market this creative process in a showy apprenticeship program. Glass partitions in the eclectic sculpture gallery framed me and a few apprentices as we worked, and Timeless Sculptures became a Lake Tahoe landmark.

At 46, I am now promoting a plan for a “concept” park at the bustling freeway intersection; current home to Timeless Sculptures. The plan calls for a sculpture park to inspire the maintenance of freedom--and of course we’ll carve some of the monuments in-place--to the delight of millions of passing motorists.

I am even considering, near the park, a “gallery/restaurant” where the process of sculpture would be viewed through safety-glass, as entertainment while you eat!

Our website, TimelessSculptures.com, high-lights and celebrates the process of creativity, still my most effective form of advertising. The site is even built to involve the client in the designing process, as an attraction providing a service.

I have created hundreds of sculptures and trained scores of artists by educating, -- entertaining and advertising by showcasing the process…
