A Few Words from the Artist
I've used many mediums throughout my life: hot glass, stained glass, ceramics, painting & commercial illustration.
Working in clay again feels like coming home, as it was my haven in high school and beginning college. After exploring different directions, I am now able to combine all of my interests.

As a sculptor, I understand why my paint was always so thick...I enjoy the third dimension.

My subject matter has been consistent throughout: figures, animals in safe places.
I also work with varying degrees of abstraction,
as I am always intrigued by the idea of giving a sense of life to the things that are inanimate.
