Biography
I came to sculpture from a varied background which included service
in Vietnam, work on oil rigs in Indonesia, and a twenty-year business
career as co-owner of a Chicago advertising agency.
For more than two decades I have been associated with the
Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany in Highwood, Illinois, pursuing
my own art concepts and commissions while also serving
as co-sculptor on various studio projects.
Although a native of Phoenix, Arizona, I have always been an
internationalist at heart, earning a Bachelor's degree in Latin
American Studies, a Master's in International Management,
and visiting or living in more than fifty countries.
One benefit of wide travel is direct exposure to the world's
great art, and my influences range from Native American to
Japanese brush painting, from African primitive to Rodin.
I favor the traditional mediums of stone and metal,
though using them to express contemporary ideas.
In addition to my sculptures, I am also a writer of fiction,
nonfiction, and poetry. (See my Author's Page on Amazon.)
