Through out this time period he remained active as a sculptor working in clay, resin and fiberglass and stone. His work has been exhibited throughout the Eastern United States and is in several private collections.

The majority of his work is representative of the female form.  These images are a merger of the classical world and the prehistoric fertility images as the Venus of Willendorf.
