My art practice radically changed in 2017 when I took a clay class. For over 40 years I had been a painter and known as a teacher of fresco painting.  But since that first clay class I have been working full-time in ceramics. My ceramic sculpture quickly evolved from vessels to expressive candelabra and wall sculptures that explore dualities in many aspects of life and nature.

My sculptures have been well received in exhibitions including solo exhibits at the Bailey Contemporary Art Center in Pompano, the Deerfield Historical Society and Sugar Sand Art Gallery in Boca Raton. And in many group exhibits locally as well as in Rome, Italy. In 2023-24 I was the ceramic artist-in-residence at the Bailey Contemporary Art Center in Pompano, Florida. I currently teach an adult clay class for Broward Community Schools.

recent news: My sculpture will be on exhibit at 
Art Serve Gallery
June 26 to August 28, 2026
. opening reception on Friday, June 26, 6 to 8pm.  
The exhibit and related events are made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division, Artists Support Grant. .
