I live in the woods in northeastern Connecticut where I create in a large, light, beautiful studio. I have traveled extensively and create work influenced by visual impressions and experiences of many places and cultures around the world.

I am a sculptor and potter working with clay. I create simple forms based on, and evocative of, ancient rituals, artifacts and shamanic figures. When I discover forms in clay I am conscious of the continuity with other artists as they have created objects for thousands of years using the same methods of shaping and processing this most elemental material.

Then when I first encountered encaustic painting - probably the Fayum portraits - I was intrigued by the tactile sensual appearance and also charmed by this long history of artistic expression. And so I began a new pursuit with this challenging medium - and it continues - seeking to balance my creativity between mud and wax.
