Classically trained in figurative arts, knowledgable in anatomy, obsessed by furniture and armed with a long history in cosmetology, theater, and events, I have an insatiable passion for learning that keeps me current in my craft. My passion for creating and thirst for culture landed me on the West Coast and in art school in the mid-Nineties. The Academy of Art University in San Francisco had a strong program in traditional sculpture in the figure and mold making that I turned into an independent study to learn porcelain early on. The rest is history, and has led to a life as full as my workroom.

+Mediums: clay, porcelain, paper maché, plastics, resin, silicone, plaster
