He exhibited widely and taught for more than 40 years at the well-known Mills College in Oakland, CA.
His works are characterized by his unique approach often termed 'organic modern' and his use of found objects.

This sculpture consists of two pieces, the disc and the base. The disc rests in the base, and can be placed in the base
however one chooses.
