Who i am

I'm a retired Colorado art teacher who grew up in a wonderfully fun, creative and curious family.  I think people are delightful even when they are not - I never tire of watching and interacting with them.  Then comes the fun of putting those interactions into sculptures.

my history

I began doing sculpture because of my great grandfather, Herman, above with his children and grand children.  I grew up seeing his woodcarvings in all my relatives' houses and I started whittling.  Teaching introduced me to all sorts of different media by nature of the job.  It seems I've settled on clay and love digging local fields to find natural Colorado clays.
