I was born in New York in 1957. I studied architecture at the University of Oregon. I had the great luck to spend a lot of time abroad, especially in Japan and the Orient. I lived in New York for ten years after school, and in L.A. for six before returning to Vermont. My work has been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and in Europe. I also design modern furniture.

I have been a sculptor for twenty years. My work, while abstract, is intended to depict the everyday storms, valleys, loves and people I come across. I am interested in depicting emotion. I hope my titles can help explain that intent. I work in the abstract because I find that it allows me to freely associate forms and ideas, words and images, and scale.

Working in wood gives me the flexibility I need to express myself. It has great strength and a fine character as a medium. Craftsmanship only interests me so far as it serves form, though, and I will be working with other materials in the future. The wood Iíve used to make these works will do well outside with care. They are not all necessarily outdoor pieces, though. Some of them may be displayed in different positions.
