Introduction	Humbled, as a clay artist & teacher 15 years. Varied - past Art Director in Independent Film, a Landscape Designer & a designer for NYC architectural firms. Thrilled, to design tableware for award winning NYC restaurants, “Mark Forgione & Boise, a West Village Tea House. Happily, partnered with designers to create site -specific pieces for residence & commercial spaces. Humored, by appearing on ABC's 20/20 teaching a pottery lesson and a PUMA sportswear commercial “throwing a pot”. Grateful, to have taught pottery to developmentally challenged children & adults & patients at Memorial Sloan Cancer Center Hospital. Privileged, to receive a scholarship to attend internationally recognized, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Honored, to serve on the Board of Directors for LEEP Beyond, a NFP offering therapy & education programs in Art, Music & Science for challenged children. Passionate, to protect the Environment and Endangered Species, latest works hope to raise awareness. Joy-filled teaching pottery in NYC studios, NYC Public Schools and the LBI Foundation of Arts and Sciences. Curious, about the world I’ve traveled, lived or worked in nearly 40 countries.
Interests	Environmental Conservation, Animal Rights Protection, Yoga, Cycling, Swimming, Surfing, Sailing, Food & Wine, Horticulture, Music, Traveling, Writing, Film
Favorite music	Music remains a tremendous inspiration for me...in all ways. I have no "favorite" music and find the range includes classical, alternative, punk, reggae, world, jazz, and music as specific & unique as 60's pop music of Berlin.
Favorite books	Currently reading "The Elephant Whisperer" - a wonderful read that reminds us how tuned in to the rhythm of life the animal kingdom truly is.
