Story of Emergence

This is a very Power-Full Clay Piece. The original idea for this Inspired Sculpture came to me in a powerfully lucid dream prior to hurricane Katrina. In the dream, I was swimming peacefully when a giant sea Turtle approached me and nudged me. I felt afraid and he told me in my mind "Do not fear, for we are ONE." The following day when I was in the studio working on a sea turtle sculpture in clay, the realization came to me that I could create a human face emerging out of the turtle shell. This illustrated the concept that "We are One." And so it became an outward expression in the days that followed. Katrina hit soon after the bisque firing and I was not able to complete the piece until nearly a year later. Here is the image of the original piece for you to enjoy. Keep in mind that the actual clay Art Piece has a Life and Energy that a picture simply does NOT possess. Museum award winning raku clay sculpture.The Juror at the Ohr O'Keefe museum of Art purchased number two piece for his own collection. I own the original and am unwilling to sell it. This piece has a powerfully radiant and LOVING Energy. Willing to recreate a similar commissioned piece with a 150 dollar deposit.Please allow 8 weeks for completion. Keep in heart/mind that each piece will be uniquely different. The glaze and firing in the RAKU process can not be controlled as much as stoneware firings.

Protector reVisited.

After hurricane katrina, I created a "Protector" Clay Art piece to illustrate that the TREES are a precious part of the Earth's landscape. We have so many OAK Trees on our Mississippi gulf coast, and they saved many people's lives during the storm. Then, we experienced "Issac" on the anniversary of Katrina and I decided to do a "reVisit" of the Protector Piece. Was not sure if the large object in the Sky was a Sun or a Moon, but the fans on the facebook business page voted on Moon. We just completed the Piece and fired it in Raku. I really love the result with the night sky and the bright, rainbow colors in the Tree Woman.

Emergence Series

Stoneware, hand-sculpted,clay sea Turtle merging with human face. This Piece is from 2008 and is from the "Emergence" series that began in 2005, just prior to hurricane Katrina. Initially, the idea for this sculptural series came to me in a dream prior to hurricane katrina's visitation. In it, I was peacefully swimming and a large Turtle suddenly swam up to me, started me and nudged me to pay attention. Then, I was told to have no Fear for we are ONE. I continue to experiment with new glazes and twists on the original idea. One of the first pieces received the Juror's choice award at the OHR Rising museuem exhibition.

Out on a Limb

After hurricane Katrina, I created my first clay "Buttocks" sculpture to express my feelings about the experience. Since that time, I have made two more and this One is VERY large for a Raku Fired Sculpture. I am calling it "Out on a Limb." There is a message on the inside of the Piece. There are wonderful small and large crackles, which is highly desirable in the raku process. It also reflects my LOVE of our Mississippi gulf coast and all of the wonderful Trees.

Turtle Love.

Turtles are my "thing"....they have been a part of my heart since I was a Child. They mean even more to me now. Since the Oil Crisis in our Gulf, I have become acutely aware of the fragility of Life and how inter-connected it all is. These Piece are fired up to stoneware temperatures and are very durable Wall Art. They may also be played on a Table if that pleases You. A few of my loyal Customers found them "whole and intact" post Katrina.

Turtle Sings...

SOLD. Hand sculpted clay stoneware sea turtle wallhanging. In all honesty, I thought this fellow he would "crawl" off my kiln shelf when I first saw him after the final firing. I had experimented using underglazes and my own glaze recipes and was pleased with the outccome. Over the years, I have worked on not being so attached to outcome, in spite of the multiple hours that goes into one of these pieces. It has taken a great deal of experimentation and many broken pieces to get to the point where I have greater success. I do not "mass produce" these turtles and usually only make a couple each year since they are so detailed and time-consuming to bring to life. If you are interested in collecting one, please contact me. This lovely and realistic piece was a JOY to create and is awaiting his perfect home.

Going with the Flow.

This powerful and large mixed media ceramic wallhanging has dynamic fluidity and movement. The clay sculpted shells on the turtles are filled with stained glass that is melted at 2200 degrees F in the second firing. The round design combines beautifully in a home filled with square framed ART to soften the energy in a room.In feng shui, the round design represents the "metal" element. Native American Indians found the "circular" shape represented wholeness and the perfection of the Creator. Since the SUN and the MOON, so necessary to LIFE, are round they are often seen as Divine expressions and Gifts of the Creator.

Mysterious Sea Dance

This wallhanging of turtles and a dolphin was actually created earlier this year, but I am just getting around to glazing and raku firing it.Often, I have to "live" with a Piece for a little while before it is revealed how to glaze and fire it. I love the flow of this One. The message on the back says: "Life is filled with ups and downs. We are all learning the steps of a truly mysterious cosmic dance. Sometimes we flow effortlessly. Sometimes we step on each other's flippers! Keep on keepin on." Ironically, after I created the piece, we went to a chinese restaurant and the fortune that I received, actually said "Keep on keepin on." I still have it! Thoughts in mind produce in kind.....

Yeah, we have Alligators....

Most of my Clay Pieces are inSpired by my experiences in Nature. In December 2010, my Husband called and told me where to find two large Alligators that were sunning themselves. Ironically, I first took Images of the Turtles that were nearby, but the Alligators almost seemed to pose for the camera. There will certainly be some Alligator Pieces emerging from the studio soon. Over the years, I have had many requests, but had not been able to get pictures of them in their natural environment....until NOW.
