Sculpture: Wood, Resin on Wood, Other.
Soccer Dude was created as a representation of my other passion soccer. As a player soccer took me to another world, as art does that to me today. This soccer player is one of a three players that were painted as a mural in a gymnasium at the State University in La Paz, Bolivia. This sculpture was on loan in 2022 and installed at Ellis-Porter Riverside Park in Jefferson City Mo. Soccer Dude went on tour again 2023 and now is prominently displayed in Augusta Sculpture Trail in Augusta GA and will be there till 2025.

These soccer players were developed from my love of pillars and my love of soccer. These players were painted in a gym at UMSA University in LaPaz Bolivia and later became sculptures.
