I am of German-Jewish origins, and arrived in the United Kingdom in 1984. I studied In Norwich for a BA sculpture degree, and in St. Albans for a post-graduate Art therapy degree I have undertaken many private commissions, and a public commission by Norwich City Council (1991).

In the past I have been carving in stone and wood, including over-life sized figures; now, I am mainly working in clay. My sculptures are hollow, building layers of clay coils on top of each other; my style is expressive, distorting the human figure, or the head to convey an emotion, or human experience.
The inspiration for my ceramic heads has evolved from various sources: Cycladidic heads; Middle -American clay figures; Buddha heads from India and China; African carvings and Picasso - but also an introspective interest in what motivates and drives human beings (including myself) to become who they are.
The ceramic heads are evocative of the numinous, they speak of the unknown, and of what cannot be named .Yet the sensual surfaces, juxtaposed with the hard intellectual angles and edges brings them back into the sphere of the senses of touch and sight. The large, sometimes bulging, foreheads give a cerebral impression; the size, shape and proportions of the features are experimented with, to convey a subtle and ambiguous expression that nevertheless remains tautly contained and inaccessible.

Most of the recent figures are small resin-bronzes. They are sometimes influenced by images of the Mother Goddess, simplifying the figure to a vast roundness, out of which appear hands and head, surprisingly small, agile and eloquent. Other figures are stylised and elongated, emphasising a frail quality; some express humour, and have a solid, earthy quality. Like the heads, these figures aspire to represent a general human experience, often archetypal and archaic, connecting us with the ancient and universal.
