• STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    I create vessels to use as canvases, which become three dimensional paintings. After an initial firing, bold all over patterns are painted on with bright glaze colors in many layers. The final firing gives life to these utilitarian pieces and makes them durable, everlasting works of art.

  • EDUCATION
    1975-1976 Work/study at Tonala Pottery, through the University of the Americas in Guadalajara, Mexico


    1977-1979 Barat College, Lake Forest, Illinois


    1980-1981 BFA; The School of the Art Institute of Chicago

  • ACHIEVEMENTS
    From 1979 to 1996 I owned Northfield Pottery Works Studio & Gallery. In 1996 I moved and re-opened my new studio, Antioch Pottery Works. In addition to creating my own work I teach pottery at my studio and conduct regular workshops and lectures at public schools and institutions.
