  Shark Sculpture
 
 

I create sculpture in fire clay such as porcelain, stoneware and earthenware. Occasionally from these original sculptures, a limited number of castings are made using any number of mediums including bonded bronze.

I love living by the sea and I am obsessed with fishing. Currently I am building a body of work of nautical themes. This consists of large ocean predators like sharks and billfish. It also contains elements of men that work the sea from small boats.
My sculpture has won numerous awards and best in show honors. It has also appeared in the pages of "Breakthrough" magazine as well as "Popular Ceramics." Both magazines had published articles written by me about my sculpting and casting techniques. My work was also selected for inclusion in a TV show called "Originals" which focused on the art of five of Long Island's emerging artist's. If you have any questions about my work please email me at:
