Born in extreme western Maine (190 miles south and inland from San Francisco), Rex spent the first several years of his life trying to decide what to do "when he grew up." During those years, as he tells it, Rex earned his living with a ball-point pen, first selling men's clothing during college and then at two major banks. It was while working as a Vice President at the First National Bank of Chicago that an idea began to take shape.

After careful consideration, Rex decided that if he used the creative side of his brain he could:
1. Make less money,
2. Not know where he was headed,
3. Follow his wife back to her roots in Maine, and
4. Have a lot more fun. - In 1985, he resigned from his position in banking and never looked back.

As Rex explains it: "I don't recall whether it is the right side or the left side of the brain that is supposed to be creative. I only know that I am happier at home, making something ... anything."

Working with a durable gauge of metal, Rex and his wife Andrea design and produce a captivating collection of metal sculpture. Rex is fond of saying, "we like to create our own interpretation of nature's originals."

This creative collaboration has met all of the goals and objectives set by a former banker. "I very seldom have to work with a ball-point pen these days, now I have my favorite ball-peen hammer. There is a distinct difference," Rex says.

Examples of Rex's sculpture, created with a big hammer and a more rested mind, can be discovered at Edgecomb Potters stores in Edgecomb, Freeport and Portland, Surroundings, in Camden and Cry of the Loon, near Sebago Lake, Maine and other fine shops and galleries. Each sculpture, whether a larger than life eagle, a raven, a frog playing the piano, or anything else that enters the rested mind as an idea to be created, is an original.
