I sculpted the 9 1/2 foot tall bronze Saint Paul statue that is in. The Cathedral of Saint Paul, MN, and also painted what is likely the largest mural by an individual artist in the Twin Cities. I started collecting ancient coins about 16 years ago as a way to study and improve my skills at bas-relief sculpting with these. And please see my other items for sale.
