I was born in Minnesota and have lived in New Mexico since 1945. I attended college at New Mexico Highlands University where I had the good luck to study with Elmer Schooley, Paul Volckning, Harry Leippe, and Ray Drew, all excellent artists and instructors. Since graduation from college I have worked as a professional potter and painter.
Although for years pottery has been my primary occupation I am now painting full time and I find it greatly enjoyable and endlessly challenging. I like very much the immediacy of working with pastels and the range of colors that so richly portray the beauty of New Mexico and southwest landscapes.

Your work is gorgeous as always! We treasure the piece we have that you did, an art deco plate with a wren, that we got at Mariposa when Faye Abrams

Mr. Thomas: We are the proud owners of one of your tall umbrella stands. We purchased it in the late 80's from a gallery in Old town, .Albuquerque. We are elderly now and wish to pass this to one of our children. We have lost the original invoice and we would like to advise our child of the value of the stand. Would you be able to help us? It is in pristine condition ! Never used as an umbrella stand. Way too beautiful. Hope your health is good and you are aging as beautifully as your art and ceramics. We loved New Mexico, but had to relocate back to Indiana.
