Diversified experience in Mexican art cultures, Pre-Columbian, and present day art expression. Coordinated large purchases, packing, transportation, and guarantee of deliveries for various collections. Owned and operated galleries, resulting in successfully working with and being in charge of others in related fields. Educational qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of California, Los Angeles and the first Master of Fine Arts Degree majoring in Ceramics and Ceramic Chemistry (60 units) also from the University of California, Los Angeles.

I have diversified experience in the art of slab work and thrown pottery. This includes extensive knowledge in ceramic glaze and oxide decoration. My teaching experience encompasses all levels of ceramic design and construction. I have instructed in and supervised all aspects of reduction and oxidation firing of a gas kiln, including high-fire ceramics and raku. This also incorporated the firing of electric kilns for high color an fine luster work.

All of the above on hands experience has given me an extensive working knowledge of ceramic chemistry and therefore the ability to ascertain authentic cultural styles and authentic aging and patina on artifact surfaces.
