Community Service

Casting/Welding Institute of the University of Buffalo, Founder, and former Director (1996-2000)

Casting into metal or other permanent material, large and small objects such as portraits, life-size figures, reliefs, etc. We fabricated sculptures from sheets, found, and cast metals.

The mission of the Casting/Welding Institute was to bring to Western New York and the University of Buffalo art casting and restoration opportunities that do not exist in Buffalo or the Niagara Frontier at the present time. The Casting/Welding Institute provided students with professional training in the operation of an art foundry and in sculpture restoration. To ensure continuity, a group of highly trained staff and technicians made sure that the foundry ran safely and efficiently and attracted a diverse student body. Students, faculty, and professionals were able to cast their work with the aid of expert guidance. There were fees charged to sculptors, other than fellows, willing to have their work cast by students under the supervision of faculty and technicians. These fees, in turn, helped to keep the daily supplies available and the operation of the foundry solvent. Those students selected to work in the foundry were paid while they learned art casting. By bringing all these diverse groups of artists together, new ways of casting and creating sculpture were explored.

The Casting/Welding Institute worked closely with the University of Buffalo Art Gallery and other art institutions in Western New York, assisting with the installation of sculpture.

Commissions

Offered advice in designing and suggesting contacts for executing original sculptures.

Restorations

Fully restored sculpture in all materials and restored three plaster reliefs measuring twenty, twenty, and thirty feet, respectively, by Charles Rumsey. They were cast in bronze by the Institute's foundry. I have, with the aid of my former students, restored and maintained many of the outdoor public sculptures for the City of Buffalo. We also assisted the Russell Marti restoration team with their restoration projects.

Artists Committee

First President and Founding Member of the Artists Committee Gallery of Western New York. In this capacity, I was instrumental in presenting exhibitions of many professional artists and graduate students. We also entered into dialogue with the Albright-Knox and other public and cultural institutions for more exposure and representation for area artists.
