Commissions Gallery
This is a retrospective of some of the commissions that Mark has sculpted in the past.
On some commissions, Mark was given specific concept to design for, other times Mark was free to create a design of his own to complete the commission.
Marble Sculpture
I was commissioned to design and carve a sculpture in Carrara marble for a private residence in Scottsdale.
The sculpture's dimensions are 48"x24"x12". I made a clay maquette to work out the design.
Wolf Springs Ranch
These two life-size horses were commissioned to be placed at the entrance to a new housing developement at Cactus Road and 93rd Street in Scottsdale AZ.
While the horses were going to be painted, I fabricated them out ot stainless steel so that they would not rust.
