BA Hope College, Holland Michigan 1959

Technical and Specialized Skills
I am a self-taught sculptor. While in graduate school I saw a large Calder mobile in the Des Moines Art Museum, and decided I had to learn how to make one. I read books, looked at pictures, and visited museums to study works of Calder and other artists.
I also experimented a lot to learn how to cut, bend, and weld, and paint metal. I never sold many works until the advent of the Internet and E-Bay. Now I have sold works literally all over the world. More of my work can be seen at www.davemobiles.com.
Any sculpture that fails to bring a smile to the face of the viewer, really isn't worth
looking at.
