Copper Patina Free Form Bowl Sculpture

I lived a year in Israel and was greatly influenced by sculptors and ceramicists there. The different landscapes of Israel, the ancient history, the ongoing archeological finds, and the stark environment of the desert have had a profound affect on my work. At the Rhode Island School of Design, I studied sculpture and mixed media I studied foundry work at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and participated in various group and individual shows in Boston. When I moved to Atlanta I was a sculptor apprentice for 5 years. During this time I learned about many different media, mold making and more classical commercial work. I began working on my own, creating sculptures for individual and commercial clients. Recently I have become very interested in clay hand building. I enjoy the plasticity of clay, the immediacy of the material. I like to imbed textures and patterns into the clay, rub and layer glazes on the clay surface.
