About

I am a ceramic artist and art teacher in NYC. When working with clay, pushing the boundaries of the material is a negotiation with time, ambient conditions, one's physicality, and the elemental qualities of the material itself.  My work engages with the material’s memory—its responsiveness to temperature, moisture, and touch—embodying the tension between control and surrender.   The unpredictable reveal from a high fire kiln never ceases to amaze and instruct.

When I am not working on the essentials I can be found on a tennis court. I used to show horses.
