Notes |
Throughout his career, Trapp created larger-than-life sculptures in stone, steel and other metals, a number of which have been included in the annual Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition at Appalachian State University over the past three decades. His towering creations have belonged to a vast array of corporate, private, museum and university collections across the country, as well as in many public exhibits. Trapp's inquisitive and thoughtful nature has propelled him and his career for over 40 years. He has created monumental outdoor sculptures for museums, corporations, and schools as well as smaller scale works for private collections. In 2006, Trapp also began to paint in order to express what he could not convey through sculpture. The creative process of painting provided the artist with an alternative outlet for his creative energy. |
