ABOUT

I started drawing and building sand castles as a child, with the sand from Jones Beach L.I.   By the age of nine I mastered the art of toothpick sculptures and knew then and there that being an artist would be my life work.

My skills of drawing and sculpture were refined as a young adult when I attended Alfred University College of Art and Design, earning a BFA in Ceramic Art, 1985.

I now live in the beautiful, Happy Valley, of rural, western Massachusetts.  Some call it the “bubble”.  It is a very “Green” and politically progressive part of the U.S. with alternative fuels, food and farm co-ops, and equal marriage rights for all.  It’s a cultural place with lots of artists, musicians, writers and universities… and did I mention lots of potters!  I like making my pots here and enjoy teaching pottery here… two things I have been doing for the past twenty or so years.
