Welcome to my site.  I am very fortunate to have found a consuming and satisfying pastime in my senior years.  Eight years ago I took my first clay class at a local college.  It opened the doors to many friendships and information both of which have been inspiring.  I started with pinch pots, progressed to throwing pottery, then on to tiles and now to sculpture and boxes. Clay is so very versatile and sensuous which makes it a pleasure to work with.  It lends itself to both rigid and fluid designs.  I produce one of a kind items, and you will find my style and creations change with experimentation.  I truly appreciate your interest in my work and hope you will return here often.  Many of my pieces have made their way into private collections in New Jersey, New York, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, Brazil and Mexico.  I am fortunate to have placed or won an award in every juried show I have entered. It has helped inspire me to continue and expand my horizons.  My work is sold at the Main Ave Galleria in Ocean Grove, NJ.  Their site is www.mainavegalleria.com
