Since the age of six, my art is how I've escaped the world.

And how I've connected with it. 

I’ve been either teaching or working as a full-time artist for forty years.  I have two art degrees, but I would say I’m basically self-taught as I’ve been exploring unique techniques and media for most of my career.  For many years, I traveled the country as an art fair artist, building a career and creating lifelong friendships with other artists and collectors.  In 2014 I opened Lucky Rose Gallery, first established in the French Quarter for 8 years and now at our new gallery location on Oak Street in the Carrollton neighborhood of New Orleans. 

My work has evolved over the years.  I began as a production potter, but became interested in figurative work, both as a sculptor and then as a painter.  I’m primarily know for my assemblage in wood and clay, my inspiration evolving from Southern Primitive or Outsider art.  I’m drawn to old wood and found object materials, but my work almost always begins with forming clay into heads and hands, which, when fired, are combined with a wide variety of materials.  My studio is filled with bins of old fabrics, wood from architectural resources here in the city, and treasures from my many travels.  It can feel both chaotic and serene, a familiar home to my creativity and the very core of my work.
