About
I am a sculptor as well as a painter. I am competent and confident
in both mediums. Generally my sculptures are abstract ceramic forms.
Part of what I do is to explore, invent and experiment with simple shapes
using the cube, cylinder, or rectangle.
My work is small to quite large. The material I use is porcelain
or vitrified stoneware. The surface of the forms are generally finished with
ceramic oxides, glazes, or polychromed lacquer, and some are fused
with metal, glass, or stone fragments. All materials are permanent and require
no maintenance.
My paintings are quite different. They are realistic, ethereal, fantasy,
and genre.
