...hool in Colorado Springs were followed by a BSBA from University of Denver, a short stint with Uncle Sam in Germany (rather than Vietnam) and a MBA from Boston University. A couple of years in the big corporate world were enough so I moved to Honolulu in 1977 to start a hardwood lumber company. In Honolulu ceramics once again became a reality. Hawaii with its Asian influence has a history of clay being one of the premier art forms. The opportunity to study with the Chinese ceramic artist May Chee while attending The Honolulu Academy of Arts brought everything to a full circle. I also had the privilege of studying under Yukio Ozaki at the Hawaii Potters Guild, which allowed me to further hone my craft. Moving back to Colorado in the mid 90's brought me to a quiet place in the aspens above Steamboat Springs. The Steamboat community is very creative, offering many opportunities for artists. I am a founding member of the Steamboat Clay Artisans & the Artists’ Gallery of Steamboat. I was a selected artist for the “Strings in the Mountains”, where I was given a new violin with which to create an original artwork through decoration. I have exhibited in the Following Sea Gallery in Honolulu, the Cogswell Gallery in Vail, Colorado & the Wildhorse Gallery in Steamboat Springs and have been an invited artist to the Carbondale Clay Center 5th, 6th & 7th Annual Benefit Cup Auction & Anderson Ranch Annual Benefit 2007. Member of the New Mexico Potters Guild & an invited artist at the Steamboat Art Museum. I also received the Achievement Award, From the Ground Up XXII Exhibition of the Potters Guild of Las Cruces, New Mexico in 2004.
