The last few months have been working hard to finish new work I wanted to be in my solo show. It’s kind of wild to think I’ve known about this for four years, and yet, I was still working on pieces right up to the last minute. I did get around to some of the… Continue reading March 19

Just had to post the finished Foxy Dreamer. The color was so much richer once it was fired. I used Amaco velvet underglazes. I love using them – It has such a lovely surface. Continuing my exploration of ceramics I finally got to glaze the bunny girl series. In finishing them I find there… Continue reading September 2023

I finally found the time to glaze my sculpture, marking a significant step forward before the firing process. Time seems to slip away, as I’ve been participating in an online stay-at-home residency offered by the Jen Tough Gallery for the past 2.5 months. While I haven’t accomplished as much as I had initially planned … Continue reading June 23

Do you ever feel like life is constantly getting in the way of your work? As an artist, I certainly know the feeling. Recently, I’ve been participating in a spring stay-at-home residency that’s made me acutely aware of how quickly time passes. It’s been eye-opening to see just how much time I’ve been spending on… Continue reading May 3

I’m excited to share the progress of my latest project: a felted wool lamb sculpture that I named Curly, for obvious reasons. The challenge in this piece was creating the wool texture, which I did by hand-rolling the wool around a bamboo skewer and pouring boiling water over it. Then, I steamed the wool to… Continue reading April 12

As an artist, I’m always drawn to experimenting with different materials to create something unique. During the Assemblage Challenge, I quickly threw together a sculpture using materials I had in my studio. While it had potential, it didn’t feel complete. Determined to transform it into something truly special, I used the original sculpture as a… Continue reading March 8

Assemblage is a form of art that involves creating three-dimensional compositions by combining various found or pre-existing objects into a cohesive whole. The objects used in assemblage can be anything from discarded materials to household items, and can be arranged in a variety of ways to create unique, thought-provoking pieces. Recently, I participated in an… Continue reading February 22

This prompt is the word Flora. I chose to felt petals around the baby’s face suggesting the idea of protection and nurturing, much like how we protect and nurture plants. I like this one so much that I am going to make a series of them in the near future.

The image above is Prompt #13 – Disaster, which is appropriate for this day, Friday the 13th. I went to arrange my setup for my… Continue reading January 13

Decided it was time to post an update. I haven’t posted since May, but been busy creating new work. I’ve been playing with throwing on a wheel, which I bought! But I digress. I also participated in a print exchange. That’s where a group of invited printmakers donate an edition of prints that gets put… Continue reading Nov 2022
May 2022 – Learning a new process!
Looking forward to the next phase of my expanding work! I took a lithography class! I always wondered how this process was done. I’ve done oil/water print processes before. I do pronto plates but this was the real thing. It was amazing. This is the image on the stone. Soon I will be trying to… Continue reading May 2022 – Learning a new process!

April Fools Day, also called All Fools’ Day It April 1st and I started wondering where exactly did April Fool’s Day or All Fool’s Day (England) originate. With a little google research it appears it is not really known where it comes from. There are several explanations, like the unpredictablity of weather patterns. There… Continue reading April 2022
