After receiving my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin, I studied with such legendary glass and clay artisans as Harvey Littleton, Robert Turner, Don Reitz, Dale Chihuly and Kent Ipsen.

I taught ceramics for 18 years at Rich East high school in Park Forest, Illinois. My work has appeared at many of the top national art shows throughout the country and in galleries from Chicago to Santa Fe and Sedona.

I specialize in the process of Raku, an ancient Japanese form of pottery known for its spontaneity and random results. My forms are created with a combination of wheel throwing and slab building techniques. My inspiration comes from my respect for primitive art from many cultures.

In 2004, I moved to Yellville Arkansas and continue to show my work at art shows around the country.
