Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 11–13 & August 8 –10, 2025
My work transitions across various vehicles of expression. Initially traditional, my functional bowls elevate form beyond function to create pieces of exquisite beauty. Though many of my works include perfect symmetry, it is the imperfect that I find interesting in a way that perfect never can be. More recently, color has infused my works, using paint or stone for a vivid additional dimension or exotic woods for color – less vivid than paint but richer in grain and hue. Wall work provides the opportunity to create a focal draw of greater impact to a room that combines color, design and mood – some abstract and bold, some colorful yet fanciful and some that take us to another place. I continuously strive to touch the viewer.
