My lifetime relationship with clay began 33 years ago with an elective ceramics class at a community college in New York. This led me to Florida Atlantic University where I earned a degree in the arts with ceramics as a focus. From there I took a position in Louisville, Kentucky, where I created, directed and taught a ceramics program at Sawyer State Park. Three years later, in 1978, I moved back to the Hudson Valley region of New York to establish myself as a full-time studio artist.

After many changes in my work – from raku to white earthenware to high-fire terra cotta – my home and studio remain in the Catskill Mountains. Throughout my career, my work has been exhibited in museums, showrooms, and over 200 galleries across the US, Europe and the Far East. It has been featured in various periodicals and publications including The Best of Pottery (Volumes 1 & 2) from Rockport Publishers.

My latest work is available only through this web site.
