I started producing sculpture a long time ago, but only started designing some of my pieces on the computer about 12 years ago.  What attracted me to the computer was the idea of being able to see the sculpture in the round almost immediately, and long before a commitment to any type of production.      I have used several different 3-D modeling programs to design the pieces directly with  the computer.  I also have used other programs for producing animation's of  the pieces for simple viewing in the round.      In the past several years I started working with leaded glass and want to eventually combine my sculpture's with the leaded glass.  I started producing what I'm calling sculptural lamps.
