Being born in New York City, New York afforded me many opportunities to soak in different forms of art at an early age. Painting was the medium in which I seemed to excel. So, in 1970, it was obvious that I would spend a year in Paris, studying and taking in the museums of Europe.
When I started a pottery class in 2000, I had never worked in clay and thought it could be a time away from all my responsibilities, something just for me. But a new love affair started; I found that clay gave me the ability to combine all of my favorite things. I began working in clay full time in 2005.
My work has a very contemporary feel, mixing sharp clean lines and organic forms. Hand-building is my preferred method. This gives me a chance to incorporate beads, fiber and found objects with my clay pieces, trying to find a balance with each element.
I have found that I am on an ever-changing journey with clay. Each stop is a delight and brings on new challenges and ideas. I hope that you enjoy the journey with me.
