About me: I live and work in New York City.
Working ..ings, and mixed media assemblage art objects. I was trained as a potter. Apprenticed at the age of 10 to 18 and then I went to Baltimore and then Glasgow Scotland to study ceramics.
I ended up moving to New York in 1992 and worked in a frame shop, art gallery, a museum, bars, cafes, talent agencies, I even did a gig doing windows at Bergdorfgoodman, and later on setting up Santa Land at Macy's in Herald Square. Lately in addition to making art as much as I can, I teach design to college students, design websites and stuff too and make myself available to various unsavory pursuits and happenings.
Who I'd like to meet: artists, writers, poets, politically progressive folks, the queer minded, the spiritually open, and generally funny people.
