My family immigrated to the United States seeking asylum when the Russians invaded our country. Entering grade school with my sister without knowing a word of English was a challenge, but over time we adjusted. I proudly became a US citizen and I graduated from University of Puget Sound in Washington State.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The next few years were spent in The Gambia, on the West coast of Africa serving in the Peace Corp and then as the assistant to the US Ambassador to The Gambia. I returned home to enter Dental School at the University of Washington. I opened my dental practice in Seattle specializing in cosmetic dentistry for virtually a 100% urban business population in a 76 floor high-rise downtown location. A radical change from the huts in Africa, however both were equally amazing times in my life.<\/p>\n Fast forward to some years after raising a wonderful family. I longed for a \u201cChanges in Latitude ~ Changes in Attitude\u201d<\/i> lifestyle shift, so we moved to the delightful Island community of Marco Island found on the most Southwest tip of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. Life is made even better with our new found pal – ‘Oscar-Zorro’, an outrageously happy Havanese pup. It is here on Marco Island, where I developed a passion for the joys of working with \u201cClay\u201d. It is addictive and I have immersed myself in this wonderful and very tactile art form.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n I am influenced by my European background in design and years of precisely crafting a lifetime of smiles. Add in the wonderful impact and colors of our new tropical Island life and it has led to the creation of a uniquely modern and contemporary line of vases, wine chillers, platters and bowls.<\/p>\n My Marco Island, Florida studio is not only my full-time home for my family, but also the birthplace of incredible one-of-a-kind classic vases and bowls with a contemporary twist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I am devoted to the extraordinary and oh so exquisite Crystalline glaze. Elegant, precious, and rare, the crystal process is incredibly difficult, with a high failure rate, but the successful vases are so unique and beautiful that the risk is well worth the reward. Each crystal found on a vase is similar to ice crystals that form on a Winter\u2019s window – you cannot predict or control them. Each crystal is unique unto itself and is absolutely breathtaking. All items are originals – One of a Kind – with no duplicates. They are truly, heritage or legacy prized possessions.<\/p>\n I throw and craft each oversized ceramic porcelain piece on the wheel by hand. The carefully thrown and carved pottery is adorned with multiple layers of custom crystalline glazes of my own creation and through the coaching of my mentors in the pottery community. The pottery is then fired for hours to over 2,300 degrees in my Florida Island Studio. Each hand-signed piece is an original, there are no exact duplicates.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″
