Dear family, friends and visitors, If you proceed to look at my work, I hope you will not think any less of me…

The phallus is thought to be a symbol of fertility & life, good luck & prosperity, growth & power,  openly revered and displayed in some parts of the eastern hemisphere.  Phallic symbols surround us in nature, man-made objects and architecture….perhaps inadvertently?  Disturbing world events have catapulted me into my art studio and a compulsion to work ardently with clay.  My own brand of art therapy if you will.

The Trilogy of TEA concludes with Angst (of Creation): Friction, tension, heat, smelting, cutting, power and financial struggles…..Angst before beauty.
