Peacock Collection

Bark collection

I like the juxtaposition of these two natural elements, bark and clay. Living in a city, I'm currently limited to an electric kiln, but I would love to experiment with different firing techniques to emphasize the texture.

Bodies Series

I have always been intrigued by medical art. Many years ago, I acquired a few paintings at an estate sale in Baton Rouge - one is by Max Brödel, a German medical illustrator who became the first director of the Johns Hopkins Medical Art Dept at the turn of the 20th century. When I discovered a milagros charm connected to the wellness of the digestional tract, it begged to be pressed into clay.
