For thirteen years I’ve dabbled in clay to build sculptural objects to add interest, surprise and whimsy to private gardens. I hand build with assistance from an extruder, a slab roller, and clay slip molds made or rescued in a home studio located in my garage. To date my body of work includes a mosaiced aqueduct in my home garden and numerous floral totems made from stoneware or raku clay. My totem work is a blend of influences from botanical reality to Dr. Seuss. These totems can stand alone, accent a container or be transformed into a fountain. New this year are my paper clay planters and mirrors. I find inspiration for form, color and texture from flowers and wildlands, and by studying the principals and patterns of sacred geometry.

I’m a practicing landscape architect in Delaware & Pennsylvania since 1983.
Both my studio and garden will be open for visitors to explore during the Chester County Open Studio tour weekend.
