The daily choices I make in my studio are to produce a piece out of feeling or out of fun; out of knowledge or out of experiment; out of self or out of someone else’s self; and on it continues. Clay is a medium of tremendous variability. It also has a forgiving path of development. Combining years of techniques and imaginings, I’m always seeking to draw the viewers into thought. I want to tug at their souls. I want people to hear their minds’ voice of the past, present or future, uncomfortable tensions, of questioning ideas of happier moments, of mysterious beliefs.

I have been a professional sculptor since the early 1990s.  While living in the Washington D.C. area my focus was on neon and clay sculptures. I have had shows in Gaithersburg, Annapolis, and Silver Spring, Maryland as well as Alexandria, Virginia. After a brief break to establish roots and a studio here in Plano, Texas, I am excited to once again be sculpting in clay and teaching the Art of Clay through my home studio and through the Plano Parks and Recreation Department!
