Clay, stoneware and earthenware, tactile sculpture and vessels. large jars multi fired to achieve variety of surfaces. large and small figurative and non figurative sculpture.

I have been working with clay for 50 years. A teaching job required me to teach the evening ceramics classes and I became hooked on the tactility of the material, it’s plasticity and immediate responses to touch. First I made large coiled vessels but after part time degrees in sculpture began making figurative work. I fill lots of sketchbooks with life drawings, drawings from the landscape and city , but also freely draw lots of images. My visual art interests include Rodin, Marini Kollwitz, Barlach, Velasquez, Goya , Cecily Brown etc etc. I make coiled and slabbed forms, earthenware and stoneware.
