| Sculpting clay enables me to portray the Sacredness of life. This is demonstrated in two of my series. My figurative sculptures utilize my gift of seeing the core essence of a person and/or situation and putting it in a visual essay through portraiture. Earth Bowls are what Mother Nature might create if she were to spin her winds and fuse either sand, the stars, water, wood or stone together. I've had the blessing to participate in "Toe River", a public art project at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, and look forward to furthering my career in providing art for public spaces. In addition to sculpting, I have an affinity for the relationship between humans and machines, hence my love of the potters wheel. I create both decorative and functional pottery pieces that range from whimsical to handsome to spiritual. Creating beauty and infusing it with love, joy and serenity is my Life Path. Being a Certified Reiki Practitioner, I do a blessing on each piece before it leaves my studio, furthering my commitment to planting seeds of goodness on Mother Earth. |
