Here's My Newest Work:

THE HAPPY BUDDHA: This is my impression of what a Buddha should look like. I don't know how he
maintains this physique begging for food with a tiny bowl. I guess it all depends on your good attitude, compassion,
and loving kindness. High-Fired Porcelain clay, with acrylic highlights on the robe. He sits about a foot tall.



HERMIT-CRAB-MAN: A cross between crustacean and homosapiens! A super-hero who helps to protect
the environment of the undersea world. He's made from Hi-fire Porcelain clay,
and finished with glazes and stains. He's about a foot long, overall.



THE OLD BARN DOOR: A wall hanging, depicting a section from an old barn door. It was made
entirely from low-fire terracotta clay, and colored with a mix of stains, washes, and acrylics.

GOING SHOPPING: Three finely-dressed 'ladies' out for a stroll. Made from hi-fired porcelain clay,
and finished with a variety of glazes and acrylic paints. About a foot tall.

WHIMSICAL BIRDS: A variety of bird-like creatures, mostly from my imagination.
They are all about 6-12" tall, made of glazed porcelain (ducklings are smaller, of course).
This is just a small sample of the 30+ birds and groupings I have made so far.

FINALLY... The Artist's Statement
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."

Although I have spent my professional career as a Scientist and Physiology Professor in several Universities, I have always had a strong interest in the arts. Now, in retirement here on the coast of Maine, I have been free to pursue this long-time passion, as a sculptor. After several workshops and classes, I have begun to develop a direction and focus for my work;

"Sculptural interpretation of biological forms, from realism to stylized expression".

I work entirely in natural earth clays, and try not to obscure the form of a piece with complex coloring or glazes. Most recently, I have been working in Terracotta and Porcelain Clay, which I find are ideal for my figurative work.
