A 1978 alumnus of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, I relocated from Maryland to West Virginia in 1978. I experience the joy of creating objects of beauty that others also appreciate. Over the course of 25 years, I dedicated myself to crafting sets and costumes for the annual drama performances of the local elementary schools. I also collaborated with graduates from local schools for Ars Creo dramatic performances. My artistic endeavors primarily involve sculpting, utilizing oil-based clay, and casting in plaster or bronze.
