As an artist and healer, I design pieces intended to create comfort and joy and facilitate Transformative experiences using clay as a medium.
Rattles
Rattles are one of the oldest forms of instrument to make music used in ancient and current spiritual cultures around the world. They can be used for healing, purifying space and invoking spirit. Clay rattles can be designed with the user in mind in unlimited shapes and textures. The rattles to the left were made for a Hosta lover, a mermaid lover, a fish/sea lover and using other natural textures.
Sgraffito
Sgraffito means “to scratch” in Italian and is a popular form of adding texture and design to pottery. I particularly like to utilize sgraffito on plates. The orange plate was made after a surprise weekend to Colorado to stay at the foot of the Flatiron mountains.
Mini Vases
While I am not a trained florist, I love having pops of color with dried flowers around the house. This drew me to experimenting with mini (and large) vases in different shapes, sizes and colors. These vases make lovely gifts and can be found all around my house.
Textured pieces
The light blue and brown pieces (butter dish and cover) and plate are made with a doily from my grandmother’s house. I love using textures to bring out the beauty of the glaze and to create pieces with meaning and memory that are also functional for daily use.
Fun with Glaze
Opening every kiln is like a surprise party to behold the way the glaze creates life in a piece. The green, hand made fish that sits atop my garden stack is a great example of how the glaze breaking around texture brings a work to life.
Mugs
Each mug design is an opportunity to create a unique piece for the person who will be holding it. I love to experiment with shapes and sizes creating handles for the specific hand of the person to whom it belongs.
Planters
I love creating planters for succulents, cactuses, air plants and any home greenery. Different shapes, colors and textures enhance the beauty of the plans held within them.
Holidays and special occasions
Pumpkins, trees, hearts and more. Special hand made pieces created just for the holidays adds beauty and fun to decorating.
Each piece you see has been lovingly gifted to a friend. Stay tuned for items available to purchase beginning Fall 2022.
