❗️NEW DATE❗️As sad and utterly bummed as I am to say, the unveiling ceremony for the Veteran’s Memorial sculpture has been changed to next Saturday the 30th due to the stupid all day rain that is in the forecast for this Saturday! I’m going to turn my frown upside down and be optimistic that on the 30th there will be an even bigger turnout and perfect weather in store! I hope to see you NEXT Saturday the 30th at 2pm at the Veteran’s Park in Clarks Summit for the celebration! Located at 200 N. State St. Clarks Summit, Pa. 18411.

Wow! The kindness, generosity, hard work, and positive feedback that is all going on with this Veteran’s Park memorial piece for Clarks Summit is pretty unbelievable! Many amazing hands and hearts are going into this memorial between all the local donors for the beautiful stone foundation materials, Abington Heights masonry students, the Clarks Summit borough, VFW-7069, and the community! I certainly couldn’t have done it without Shiffer Masonry, who pretty much orchestrated the whole base, met with donors and is building an absolutely amazing stone base for my sculpture. Gerrie Carey, president of the council and incredible woman is who brought all of this together and started the ball rolling.
Tuesday I had the pleasure of talking with The Scranton Times-Tribune about the project and talked about my experience building this piece. Yesterday they sent a photographer up to get some photos of me and the sculpture before it goes to be installed next week! I am so happy and so grateful and so wickedly proud of everything that is happening right now! I hope to see you at the unveiling Saturday the 23rd at 2pm! Memorial Day weekend!

The 8-foot sculpture by artist and borough native Scott Nichols, which includes a model of the Liberty Bell, will be placed in Veterans’ Memorial Park at State Street and Clark Avenue.

I still can’t believe this! I am beyond honored and so proud to be installing a huge memorial sculpture in my hometown of Clarks Summit, Pa. in the Veteran’s Park! So much went into this incredible project all starting with the amazing president of the Abington council, Gerrie Carey asking me to build a sculpture to commemorate the United States 250th birthday and permanently install it in the park as you enter the Summit. I am blown away by the opportunity to build a piece of art that will be displayed in the town where I grew up, where my family left their legacy behind with the Inn at Nichols Village and where my heart, soul and pride have always been. To say I’m proud of this opportunity is an understatement! This is just one of the huge projects and opportunities that I’ve been keeping a secret for so long, with lots more coming!

The awesomeness didn’t stop there. Gerrie contacted an old friend of mine Mark Shiffer from Shiffer Masonry and told him about the project, he dove totally headfirst into building a killer foundation for my metalwork to sit on. Mark is also the masonry teacher at Abington Heights high school and was allowed to have his students work and get credits for building this beautiful stone foundation. His footwork didn’t stop there, he reached out to many local venders and businesses and got donations for the stone, concrete, a massive fancy stone for the top and assuring this foundation has turned from just a little slab, to a huge beautiful Cadillac of a stone foundation! I know that every time I pass this memorial that I will have so much pride pouring out of me and will be forever grateful for the Clarks Summit borough, community and all the other hands and hearts that went into this memorial project! I am so blessed to have such amazing people around me all the time!
The unveiling ceremony of the “America 250” themed piece will be Saturday 23rd, (Memorial Day weekend) at 2pm in the Veteran’s Park across from The Lounge of the Abingtons and the Convenient.
I hope to see you at the park as we celebrate this piece, the veterans, 250 years of America and the start of a great summer! 🇺🇸

“The Great Wide Open”. So fun! A couple “firsts” for me on this aviation themed wall piece for a friend’s home! The first fun part was building this wall art around a beautiful 6’ long authentic airplane propeller, the 2nd fun thing was making these “paper airplanes” out of metal. I was questioning how I was going to make them, but once I figured one out, it was a blast making the rest of them and even brought back many childhood memories of folding paper airplanes with my father. I loved building this whole piece! The massive 6’ long, 4’ high piece looks pretty stunning hanging on her office wall! I finished the center of the propeller hub off with a personalized nameplate. Thank you so much again Linell, it was an absolute pleasure and I hope you enjoy it for a lifetime! ✈️

“Coal Pickin’ Willie P”. This handsome fella can be found while walking along the beautiful D&H Rail-Trail in Forest City, Pa.

“I’ll Keep You Safe in Here”. A little dark, a little dramatic, a little romantic, all swirled together into a dreamy custom 5’ tall floor lamp. Climbing up to the birdcage is a delightful combo of grapevine, willow branches and cold hard steel while delicate black roses dance around the caged heart and lightbulb. Custom built for a friend, the one and only, man of a million talents (and businesses), Josh Balz. This was a fun one to build!

The story of why I’m sitting with two owners of two of my favorite restaurants. The awesome owners of Hooked on State Street said I should bring down some of my work and display at their restaurant, so I jumped on the sweet opportunity a few weeks ago and brought a gnarly anglerfish floor lamp to display. As I was advertising the piece, my dear friend Josh Balz, owner of The Ritz Theater, Noir Dark Spirits, The Strange and Unusual, Parlor Beverages, and all around amazing human, saw the anglerfish for sale and mentioned needing it. Josh has many of my fixtures between his own amazing restaurant/bar (Noir Dark Spirits), other businesses and personal. I’m always honored when I get to build something for him or his million businesses, so when he wanted this piece, I was so happy! We grabbed some delish lunch before loading up the piece and as usual, the food, environment, and hospitality from Arthur and Mel at Hooked is always so incredible! Thanks again guys and thanks again Josh for adding this wild thing to your collection!

I added the finishing touches to the The Wright Center tree yesterday! The extra birds and monarch butterflies brought this piece to life even more than it already was! I also added the dedication wall plaque which really made like this beautiful project come together and feel complete! I stood back and looked at it, and even though I’ve been with this piece for a long time, it felt different, it felt like there was so much movement, activity and actual life in it. Almost like it was the first time seeing it, I soaked it in and thought to myself, I can’t believe I made this thing. As many situations in my life these days, it felt surreal, I felt so much pride and gratitude. This was one of those projects I doubted that I could execute my idea or make it happen, but while standing there yesterday, I found out that I could make it happen.
I can’t thank The Wright Center enough for allowing me to dream up, design, and build this massive piece for their facility! I hope it’s enjoyed for a lifetime and stays as magical as it is in my mind!
