Awards
The City of Peoria purchased one of Hank’s major watercolors, “Now Here’s the Plan”, for its permanent public art collection.
Hank’s Grand Canyon oil painting, “Hear the Winds Whisper”, was purchased by the City of Glendale, Arizona’s Art Commission and added to the city’s permanent art collection.
Hank’s sculpture, a major bronze titled, “Cousin Jacks”, was purchased by the Sterling Hill Mining Museum of Ogdensburg, NJ.

One of Sterling’s mineral specimens, a collector quality of zinc quartz was incorporated into the piece, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

Upcoming Shows
2010
Hank will again be teaching a Sculpture class during the two-week Adult Continuing Education program at Principia College in Elsah, Illinios, in July. The students create a sculpture in clay of a head during the first week and a full figure the second week. The end results showcase the students’ creativity and level of expertise—even for “first-timers” the completed art is always amazing and most rewarding to Hank, the students and all the program attendees.
