In 1975, I gave it all up to become a full-time
artist working in clay. Finally, I returned to school to
obtain my Masters degree at San Jose State University. In
1985, I received a master of Fine Arts degree in Plastic
Arts (Sculpture).
Currently, my ceramic work is in collections throughout
the United States, as well as in Europe and Asia. I create
small ceramic jars, architectural scale clay wallworks,
and painted abstract murals for interior corporate environments.
Although I continue to work in clay, as I love the tactile,
earthy quality of clay, and the metaphor of "centering"
associated with it, I have expanded my love of color into
the form of abstract murals. I love the scale, the sense
of being surrounded by color as I work, and the immediacy
of the results.
In both my claywoks and my painted murals, I believe in
beauty and spirit, and hope to touch each viewer in ways
that expand their vision and fill their hearts as mine is
on a daily basis.
I love to travel and soon will travel to Kyoto, Japan,
on a journey to further expand my senses and appreciation
of the beauty that surrounds us.
I am grateful, every day, that I am an artist.
