About Me And My Work

I'm a ceramic sculptor. My interest is in form and structure. Many of the ideas for my work come from architecture while the inherent organic quality of the clay always brings the work back to soft forms more reminiscent of biological and natural things.

Artistic Experiences I Have Had On My Travels

While I love to travel and explore other places, I spend most of my time in NYC.

Places I Would Like To Visit

I would like to travel in Finland, Denmark and Sweden to see contemporary ceramics there and also in parts of Eastern Europe as well as Japan and China.

Post-War and Contemporary Art
