For the past two decades I've created "Mechanical Confections", one of a kind automata and kinetic sculpture incorporating found objects, metal and electro-mechanical components. My work has been featured in The Sunday New York Times, Metropolis Magazine, LA. Style and The Boston Globe and exhibited Internationally. This site features work for sale and information on upcoming shows and installations. For information on purchasing or showing specific work feel free to drop me a line. Along with kinetic sculpture, I create animated films and interactive design work. These projects are showcased on the Pixeltoon Website.

[04/21/2008] For those of you interested in seeing my current show at the Fuller Craft Museum there are two wonderful events coming up: On April 27th at 2:00 I'll be screening my zany animated films and then we'll head up to the gallery for live demonstrations of Mechanical Confections! This is a rare opportunity to see the work in action as most of these delicate pieces are behind Plexiglass for the duration of the show. The following Sunday May 4th, 2:00 until 5:00 is the opening reception. The setting is on a beautiful pond surrounded by woods and everything should be in full bloom. For those of you coming from Boston, IKEA is on the way down off of route 24, perfect for a spring outing! Buy that summer picnic basket you've been lusting after, have some Swedish meatballs and then come to the opening. I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
[01/17/2008] New promotional video "The Work-a-day World of Mechanical Confections" is now on line! This industrial film offers a sneak peek into the process of manufacturing our wind-up's and other creations ( with a bit of help from the Prelinger archives ).
