Siegel's work prompt dialogue abour society, landscape and form - all with an eye for nature's processes.

He has worked in Italy, Germany, England, Korea ,Canada and the United States.his work is in the permanent collections of North Carolina Museum of Art,, Arte Stella (Italy), Grounds for Sculpture, Woodson Art Museum, DeCordova Museum, University of Wyoming Museum of Art, Chemin d'Art (France) and Tikon (Denmark).
