origin: Mallorca: work: |
I was born and raised in Chicago. Ill, USA. After graduating from the Univ. of Illinois in 1979 with a degree in fine arts (specializing in ceramic and glass sculpture) I flew to the Virgin Islands . Working on sailboats I ended up sailing to the Mediteranean. In late 1980 I washed up on the shores of the Spanish island of Mallorca. Ever since then I have lived in the village of Deia where I found the simple life style I sought. The beautiful mountainous coastline and the blue mediteranean sea are clearly seen in my work. I love to use the pale, salmon colored Mallorcan clay for my table and wall lamps and use many textures inspired by the olive trees and rugged landscape. My love of the sea and its creatures can be seen in my use of sea blues and greens as well as fish motifs. Land and sea are in harmony here. My work is hand-made and hand-painted. I make unique pieces and specialize in custom made ceramics. Doing custom work stretches me in directions I might not otherwise go in and enriches my own personal expression. |
