In addition to a fulfilling career in NYC banking and real estate,  I began to study pottery in 1995, as a student with Anke Bosse at Ceramix studio in Manhattan.  In 1998, along with several talented partners, I founded La Mano Pottery in Chelsea, NYC, and took part in growing that business into the successful and thriving gallery and teaching studio that it is today. 

   

     I love playing with color and texture in clay.  I focus on functional pottery, and have never concentrated on one particular style.  I prefer to let each piece speak in its own voice, reflecting a feeling, mood, or attitude.  My work ranges from carved pieces to altered jars and bowls to hand-sculpted ware, and I work both on and off the wheel.   

    Although I  no longer have an ownership interest in La Mano, I continue to work there as a studio potter.  I also teach wheel and hand building classes, as well as silver clay classes.   I am happy to take commission work, and specialize in creating beautiful Judaica  ritual objects for the home, including chanukiah, seder plates, challah and matzo platters, and tzedakah boxes.  Silver jewelry is also available for sale, and may be custom designed to your specifications.

    I am a native New Yorker, married to a wonderful friend for more than 30 years, and live in Manhattan with spouse, son and two sweet adopted mutts.
