“Bullet Proof” Found Metals and Mixed Media, 17” x 31” x 7”
I have been an artist and sculptor all of my life. From the age of fifteen, I have had a passion for sculpture and received a scholarship to the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.
“African Mask” Mixed Media and Mosaic, 7’ x 42” x 11”
I married after graduation and focused on raising my family, but never stopped creating sculpture. Eventually, I began to teach sculpture at the American Jewish University.
“Flight of Thought” Found Metals and Mixed Media, 47” x 94” x 24”
My work is varied, ranging from classical sculpture, bronzes and terra cotta to mixed media. I strive to incorporate mythological and archetypal elements from many cultures and eras into my work.
“Edna” Mixed Media and Found Metals, 23” x 46” x 22”
In recent years, I have become fascinated with found objects, especially things that I have uncovered in junkyards. These include mosaics, metals and e-waste to name a few.
“Sea Deity” Mosaic and Found Metal, 21” x 21” x 3”
Although these objects are often the inspiration for new pieces, I tend to not stray too far from the human form, because that’s what excites me.
“Atara” Mosaic and Found Objects, 12” x 56” x 8”
From time to time I have exhibited at galleries or donated pieces to various charities; however my focus has been on making, not promoting, my work.

Now, at age seventy, with a house full of sculptures in all different mediums and styles, I have decided to start showing and selling my work for the first time.
“The Professor” Terracotta and Mixed Media, 12” x 24” x 12”
I was immediately accepted into the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) in January of 2016, and have since appeared in several shows and galleries in the Los Angeles area.
