Welcome to my Sculpture Gallery featuring ceramic and stone works. I hope you will enjoy viewing the photos of my work. Each piece is an original - the exact size and price are listed.
Sculpture has always been my passion. I have been working in a variety of clays and natural looking finishes for many years. They are my interpretation of human form in a primitive/modern style. I do not use a wheel, but over the years have developed a variety of my own hand-building techniques with slab or coil method, or by adding clay to a base and building it up piece by piece. The final shape is entirely dependent upon how gentle or rough I am with a paddle. Another method I have used is by taking 15-20 lbs. of clay, throwing it down onto a mat to form an interesting shape, which is then carved and modified. My works are not glazed except for terra sigilata, as their appearance is better enhanced by the reaction achieved in the kiln. In the past I have used a technique I learned many years ago which gives them a wood-like finish. My most recent sculpture, however, are made from special terra cotta clay mixed at Chester Springs Studio, finished with terra sigilata, then fired in a wood kiln. Swirling smoke and flames embellish sculpture in unusual ways.
