John emailed me with this good news!
 I wanted to let everyone know that I'm one of three artists of the month at the Arkanas Treasurer's office! The "Artist of the Month" is actually on a bi-monthly rotation so I will have 6 pieces there until the end of May. Anyone who wishes may go and see them during normal weekday business hours. http://www.artreasury.gov/ASTWS/Artists.html

 I thought I would start my series back up on really cool looking art.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Ivan spent his childhood in Africa, England, Wales and Germany. When not outside enjoying the natural environment, Ivan was drawn to all forms of artistic expression, and he began drawing birds and African wildlife.
As an adult, Ivan worked mostly in construction, but art was always an important part of his life. Ivan would spend all of his spare time learning about art, experimenting and trying to explore each medium to its potential. Ivan exhibited his sculpture and paintings in group exhibitions at the Guildhall, Grantham, before emigrating to Australia in 1994.
Inspired by his new environment, Ivan focused his creativity on the hands on reality of sculpture. Ivan is particularly excited by the transformation of such an ordinary medium as chicken wire into a piece of art. He is drawn towards creating work that is accessible and meaningful.
Ivan's personality is represented in his sculpture. His work is honest, often quirky and amusing, yet demonstrates compassion for his subject, and above all, has great integrity.
Ivan initially worked with driftwood and reclaimed timber, which he fashioned into exquisite representations of birds and wildlife. Ivan received a great deal of publicity and public acclaim for this work and won the Swell Festival People’s Choice in 2004 with his representation of a flightless bird “Running Bird Walking”.
