I presently work in my own studio producing ceramic and bronze sculpture. I participate in juried and invitational exhibitions regionally and nationally and continue to be commissioned for outdoor bronze sculptures. I apprenticed at an art bronze casting foundry In Cleveland. I have had opportunities for multicultural travel which continues to influence my work. I am intrigued by distinguished artistic traditions in cultures that consider art, life and religion as one. I received my BFA in Sculpture from the CIA where I was awarded 3 Honorary Scholarships. I then completed my MA from KSU. I received 2 Assistantships in Ceramics for at Arrowmont School of Arts. As a teaching artist I instruct Ceramics and Art History at Lakeland Community College. I teach Sculpture and 3D Foundation at Tri-C. I have taught Foundation Design at Lake Erie College. I was an educator at CIA and taught Drawing at CMA. I continue to learn and be inspired by students as I teach.
