ARTIST STATEMENT
These sculptures base on the female form are an exploration of how clay can convey joy and mystery and elegance in simple presentations. While creating these forms i am not aware of what will happen in the final form. i just move the clay and watch what happens. They seem like figurative forms only when i stop working. Then I see the whole image and how it stands alone.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I have been working is clay and teaching others about expressing themselves in clay for over 50 years. I am also a painter and teach painting. in both of these media i find i am in touch with my environment and show how to reach out to convey what i am seeing and feeling. i am a member of Evanston, Made, The Greenleaf Gallery and CAVA. and participate in a few shows every year.
I received my Masters of Art degree at Columbia College, Chicago and my BFA in painting at Mundelin College, Chicago.
