  I
was born in 1949 in New York City and now
live I Portsmouth, Rhode Island on an island about
the size of Manhattan. I've lived by the ocean
for most of my life and enjoy listening to the
waves and collecting beach stones. My studio is
next door to my house. I have two children and
three parrots. My daughter's artwork has inspired
many of my sculptures.
Child's
Play originated when a drawing blew in with the
wind one fall day. I picked the crumpled drawing
out of a pile of leaves by my studio door and
unfolded it. I liked what I saw, but wanted to
make it bigger and more permanent, so I fashioned
it in metal. Working in metal has always appealed
to me;
I'm attracted to the different skills and processes
involved.
I've
been creating sculptures since I was seventeen
and have exhibited in Rhode Island at the DeBlois
Gallery in Newport, the Warren Art Festival, Wickford
Art Festival, and the Convergence Festival. I
am an active member of the Portsmouth Arts Guild.
My work is in private collections in Massachusetts,
New York, and Rhode Island.
