Rod has been sculpting for 25 years and has been focusing on the figure for the past 22 years.
His favorite classic piece is the laocoon group by Aegesander, Athenodoris, and Polydoris.
He has had works at the Willoughby towers gallery, the Grove street gallery, the arround the cyote gallery, the frink-manheim gallery, and in several smaller group shows. He was a founding member of the bucktown/holstein park artist fest, and participated in the earlier greening of wicker park festivals.
His works are in private collections from Hermosa Beach in California, to LightHouse Point in Florida. 2 are on public desplay in Chicago.
He gives a vibrant and dynamic presence to what he refers to as his "Mythofigurative sculptures"
He has mastered a difficult art with flare and precision in his desire to capture "just one moment" of a figure in motion.
