Testimonials
“ While working on the First Flight project, Stephen collaborated with state, federal and private agencies, as well as the descendant families of the men who are represented in the sculpture. Stephen demonstrated great ability in dealing with all groups involved. He succeeded in meeting very tight deadlines, and, in eight short months, he was able to create the flyer, the camera, and three life – size figures. I am pleased to give Stephen my highest recommendation for his artistry and achievement in this remarkable piece depicting the first flight.”

"In an iconoclastic time, it is reassuring to see the work of an artist whose roots and inspirations are proudly traced to Michelangelo and Bernini."

“His knowledge of human anatomy was fascinating, leading me at times to wonder if I was working with an artist or a trained medical professional. He made me feel comfortable at all times and, in spite of his well-earned reputation, was quite humble and down-to-earth. In a word, the entire experience from our first meeting, at which he had taken various pictures and measurements of my face and shoulders, to the final visit to his studio, in which he shared with me and my family members the finished product, was a complete joy and an experience I will never forget.”

“Sculpture is a parable in three dimensions, a symbol of a spiritual experience, and a means of conveying truth by concentrating its essence into visible form. It must be the reflection of the artist who creates it and of the era in which he lives, not an echo or a memory of other days and other ways.”
