The Constitution - Classical Style
It will be a different presentation on a Classical eagle. The eagle is developing into a more fuller eagle than her mother. The wings will be thicker and the 2 flags will have a thicker center area that will flow under the folds on both sides, and the flags will be rounder and thicker on the end and rolled around the back side of the flags. The ends of the poles and the flag staffs will be rounder and thicker will be under and away from the flat wall surface. The wings will come away from the wall also and have more of a sculptural presentation. The head are is developing with the beak area coming to a more pointed presentation, and the neck becoming more sloped and curved as she progresses. You will notice the top wing area will be higher and it will have a more pronounced and have a fuller feather development.

I was created June 22, 1950 in Moon Run, Pennsylvania. BA in Art education from Carlow University in 1974. After college I joined two highly selective art associations in Pittsburgh, Associated Artist of Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh Society of Artists. Married Francesca A. Hoffman 1976. I worked at Carnegie Mellon University from 1978 – 1991 and I used my art talents to restore the unique art and architecture at the University. My last project at the University was restoring the George Nakashima collection in Warner Hall. Also during this time in 1986 I received a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon in Business and Public Management, and Labor Relations in 87.
The handcarved heirlooms that I create are rich in history, detail and design. The deep, deliberate curves and lines left by the chisels are a statement to the quality and craftsmanship that go into each piece carved. Each piece is a collaboration between my patron and myself as we progress on the journey for each project.
