Pottery
I have always enjoyed the versatility of clay and how it's properties change as it dries. It can be used a sculptural element enjoying daily use and artistic appreciation in your home. I also like to incorporate a bit of whimsy and fun into artwork. Step into the gallery to see them all...
Wheel-thrown bowls
These bowls are both functional and decorative pieces. A generous wheel-thrown bowl can keep a collection of fruit or sit upright in a plate stand on a shelf or mantle. I like using the bowls for display and for serving. As high fire clay bodies, they can withstand the heat of the oven or microwave, present food on the table, and be stored in the refrigerator. Several of the bowls seen here have a stripe of the exposed clay body and show an overlapping of different glaze colors. The rims of the bowls are 10”-14” wide.
Spires
These hand-built slab sculptures are influenced by the church spires of Spanish artist Antonio Gaudi and by coastal lighthouses. Each piece is a unique work and is a reminder of the word of God, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 NIV
Wall Tiles
"One of the things I love about clay is that it's such a forgiving medium. I love using clay as a sculptural medium. It's properties change as it's drying allowing you to work with it at different stages.
These wall tiles are similar to hollow boxes resting 1 in. off of the wall. They are each 12in. x 12in. x 1in. The boxes are a strong sculptural element meant to be versitile and to fit a variety of areas. Hung together in sets of 2 or more, they can be hung vertically, horizontally, down a hallway, or in an evenly spaced grouping of 3x3 wall boxes. Each piece picks up the texture of the canvas cloth it is rolled out on. The canvas texture of each box coupled with the painterly application of glaze blurs the line between the work being either a painting or pottery."
