I tend to change mediums, or at least add or subtract materials, every 4 to 7 years. The start of a new medium is the hardest part of creating for me, but once I explore it's boundaries and capabilities it can be very freeing! I started with resin because of it's translucency. I started with wire & rod because of the ability to draw and define space three dimensionally, and I am now experimenting with the ancient practice of chain-mail and additionally modelling animals out of a deep concern for their survival. Snake and orangutan done, more to come.

I started with building wood furniture in high school, studying in Florence, Italy for a semester in college and transferring to Syracuse University for their outstanding sculpture program. The move to the Johnson Atelier foundry in Princeton, NJ just after graduating was a natural progression and lead me to experimenting with many materials, which I had started to do in college. In 1990 I left the Atelier and have worked out of my small studio at home ever since, pictured above.
