About The Artist

Artist Statement

Nature has been a source of inspiration. So much of my subject matter has been flowers, landscape, animals and the human form. And I like to capture it as best I can, the colors and shapes and flowing lines. Having studied Flamenco Dance and feeling the passion for dance I also did a series of dance sculptures.

I work in ceramic sculpture and am influenced by nature, landscapes, flowers, animals and human body forms. I do lidded urns, and Life sculpture as well as plaques in relief. I have also done Cloisonne enamel, jewelry making, calligraphy, and painting. I enjoy doing custom orders of portraits and busts, bodies and work from live models but can work from photographs.

I traveled extensively in Europe, Morocco and Asia and moved to San Francisco where I got a BFA in 1973 from the San Francisco Art Institute majoring in Painting and minor in Ceramic Sculpture. Received my Art teaching degree from San Francisco State in 1974. I started to do Cloisonne Jewelry and calligraphy in 1976. Got a Masters of Creative Arts degree from San Francisco State in in 1990.
