This bust of South Dakota’s beloved 28th Governor and former Speaker of the House was commissioned in 2018, the 25th anniversary of his death. Displayed in the House Lobby of the South Dakota Capitol, it is a counterpoint to a bust of Peter Norbeck by Gutzon Borglum, located in the Senate Lobby.

My first major commission, this piece was created in 1994 for the Sacred Heart Hospital, Yankton, South Dakota.
