When you see a face on a sculpture of mine, its an antique photo, from the early 1900s or earlier. What you might not know is that it is very hard to find diversity in photos of that time. So making African of Asian goddesses is very hard. So when I travel, I always hit tbe antique stores searching for pictures. On this trip to Hawaii, I hit the jackpot. (These are a few samples)🎉❤️.

Pegasus is a mythical winged divine horse, and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek mythology. Pegasus is the offspring of the Olympian god Poseidon. I’ve been wanting to do a winged horse for a long time. I used wood, metal, leather and even a few antique chandelier parts. He is for sale at www.woodwalkgallery.com

“To The Moon”. My first rocket. I finally used my antique chandelier parts. In the third pic, doesn’t the glass look like billowing rocket exhaust?

Another Valkyrie (because they appeal to me so much) made from antique items. Valkyrie were mythical creatures in Norse mythology who carried fallen soldiers from the battlefield.
