Greg has personally supervised and executed many projects, which include everything from Jewelry to the second-largest hammered copper sculpture in the World!

 

Portlandia, built for the City of Portland OR is his largest project to date.  It is a ten times life size statue of a woman and after assembly had to be shipped on a barge down the Columbia River before being installed on a third floor landing above the main entrance of the County Building. The only larger sculpture of its kind is the Statue of Liberty.
