artist statement
Blue Fire..........artist statement
The hand-built clay artworks i create are expressions of my joyful relationship with the creative process and the natural world; animals, birds, owls, horses and two legged humans, all manifestations of the sacred dream of love and power...they are gifts from the Great Mystery, the energetic ocean of Creation.
They are wonders, curiosities, teachers, and beautiful... I’m fascinated by all the Beings of the natural world. Nature is the revelation of the Divine, the Mystery...
.......beauty, the sacred made visible .......
.......... art is a sacred process for me.
I work with clay, fire and dreams. For me, artwork
is the practice of perceiving the sacred in the moment.. .....and honoring that truth... bringing sacred dreams
from the mystery into the literal world. Using clay
and my hands i bring into form the dreams in my heart ...i work with the clay, co-creating with the clay.... watching the piece come into being...this feels magical....
I leave the marks of this exciting process visible in
the texture of the surface on each artwork.... I layer into the surface colorful under glazes, terra sigillata or slip. The piece is fired several times. Underglazes, while permanent, have a soft look allowing the texture of
the clay and the forming process to remain visible.
I'm grateful to be working with clay - have for 20 years!

Glazes...underglaze
i started at 7am saturday morning and finished at midnight. this is a picture of the loaded kiln ready for firing... there are three layers of shelves and pieces, you see the top shelf. the one large owl that you see in the bottom right corner is standing on the bottom shelf, whoooo!
the colors of these underglazes when fired to 1900 degrees will be permanent and will become even a little richer.

slide show of new work..........

Just back from an INSPIRING workshop with Paul Wandless www.studio3artcompany.com
Clay and Printmaking.
....this is a still wet sample of a monoprint with underglaze on a white slab (but grey while wet). the black lines are drawn first with a slip trailer. then layers of colors are painted or printed on.
the thing that is so different is that the colors really don't move around much as they are brushed on, in other words they don't blend but because they are translucent they layer. a very nice feeling to this process which i want to explore. when this piece is dry i'll fire it and post the results.

what are these owls all about?
I must have made 1000 owls by now.....what are these owls all about?
....and these owls with eyes looking right at the viewer?
re-member the ancient wisdom and knowledge that my soul carries into this life.....
i am free,
i am love,
i am power,
i am connected to ALL,
i am sacred,
you are sacred,
All is sacred.
Whooooooo!
