lion fountain Installation of this 9 foot tall fountain was finished in August 1996. It is built of 92 pieces of stone, and the carving was completed over a 10 month period. Carved from two types of limestone, Indiana Limestone and a golden brown Minnesota limestone, two bronze frogs sit on the edge of the pool spouting water. Water shoots out the top, cascades down, and flows from the mouths of the three lions.
Fountain lion Lion spouting water The central part of the fountain features a lion; water spouts from its mouth. On the bowl above its head rests a bundle of four Romanesque columns, topped by another bowl.
This fountain is located in the gardens of Driehaus Capital Management at 25 E. Erie St. If you're visiting Chicago, walk by and take a look!

Floral garden stone Completed in the summer of 1995, this stone honors a contributor to Seneca Park, a beautiful little public park near Chicago's Water Tower. It is designed to blend in with the gardens, appearing like a natural outcropping of stone. Foliage is carved into the rough block. Set in the stone is a bronze plaque.
Hotel Lobby Statue Telamones - Telamone is the male form of Caryatid, a carved figure serving as a structural or decorative column. These four figures, measuring 12'6" tall (3.8 m) were installed in the lobby of the House of Blues hotel, a Loews hotel in downtown Chicago in September 1998. The Telamones are cast in fiberglass. I carved the original model in stone. It was enlarged to make the full sized master model, from which the mold was made.

In 2008, a new owner took over the hotel, and made plans to relocate these sculptures as part of a complete interior redesign.
