Three-Dimensional
Installations
I study beauty in the microcosm of our world, thus celebrating the mundane.
Clay brought me into the world of object making over 45 years ago. For the first 10 years I was a production potter in Houston, and when I found that to be too restrictive I enrolled in the MFA program at the University of Houston, received my degree in 1984 in ceramics and sculpture.
After receiving my degree, I moved to New Mexico where I currently live. Opening doors never imagined over the next 10 years, I learned skills in woodworking, metalsmithing, casting, welding, paper making, beeswax, to name a few. By the 90s I was working in multiple forms, using either 9 (ix) or 14 (xiv) repeated shapes in each piece.
An effort to save a piece of property from development to preserve it as open space led me in a new direction. I began working in installation format using growing grasses, images of seeds, and grasses.
My current work is a complete departure from my past artistic endeavors. Click on ACOG for details.
