My ongoing sculptural work in fiber, metals and clay reflects both my
independent investigations into form and materials and my formal training. Currently I work from my studio space in Cleveland, Ohio and have primarily exhibited my work in Ohio, Massachusetts and Oregon. My work is also in private collections nationally.
