Sample Reviews:

's8220;He gives a vibrant and dynamic presence to what he refers to as his 's8220;Mythofigurative sculptures's8221; He has mastered a difficult art with flare and precision in his desire to capture 's8220;just one moment's8221; of a figure in motion.'s8221; , From Arteutile.



's8220;I don's8217;t know if Rod'ss mastery of form or his ability to work in different media impresses me more, but I am floored by the combination of the two.'s8221; From Floyd Brigdon



Art imitating nature in all the glory of the human form.

Art must be a part of life. It must exist in the domain of the common man. It must be an enriching, ennobling and vital partner in the public pursuit of civilization. It should be a majestic presence in everyday life today, just as it was in the past.
