Now in his 20th year as a studio artist, his specialties are wood-fired stoneware and most recently cast bronze. His abstract sculptures are based on biological sources, the “Radiolarians” are microscopic sea creatures and the “Fossil” series relate to dinosaur bones. His covered vessels are designed to hold treasures of any kind–spices to diamonds!
They are thrown as single works, then cut into two and trimmed. His bowls and platters, sake cups and bottles and other pots are designed to be used!
Steve’s arts education began with a BFA in Design from UMass Dartmouth and continued with an intensive study of clay in Nagano Japan. including three years in the small town of Obuse in Japan's Central Highlands as an English teacher in the local Junior High School and as a student of Keiichroh Sato, a potter/sculptor.
His work has been exhibited at many galleries and museums and he teaches adults and children at The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum.
