Specialty
Ensembles: Inspired by special
events, holidays or seasonal activities, these groupings come straight
from the artist's imagination. Individually constructed using the slab
method, they are high fired using stoneware glazes and stains.
Story-Tellers:
Native American potters are
well-known for their story-teller figures…usually a female figure
with small children. These charming and imaginative pieces are a one-of-a-kind
originals created in high-fire stoneware. 10"-18" high.
Outdoor
Sculpture Series: These
high-fire stoneware pieces are virtually impervious to weather. Lifelike
sculptural pieces are inspired by animals of the southwest such as javelinas,
tortoises and rabbits. Works range from serious to whimsical. Life cast
torsos can be displayed indoors or outdoors, as can the "sandcrabs",
"sonoran sand slugs" and a variety of other characters in
the artist's imaginative menagerie. The sculptural pieces are constructed
using the slab method and fired to 2380° utilizing glazes and/or
oxides for enhancement.
Wall
Plaques: Stoneware and raku
two-dimensional pieces can be hung or displayed flat. Each is unique,
as designs are never mass-produced. Fashioned after shards of rock,
influences include petroglyphs, Native American pottery designs, animal
studies, and sun masks (which can also go outdoors).
Militia
Series: This whimsical series
incorporates realistically sculpted desert creatures juxtaposed in today's
warfaring society. Armed with weaponry ranging from uzis to six-shooters,
"arming the innocent" takes on a new meaning, not to mention
the concept of "food chain!"
Miscellaneous
Work: This
prolific clay artist also creates landscape vessels, fetish pots and
boxes, ornaments (ask about her Javelina Angels and Wicked
Gingerbreadmen for your Christmas tree), decorative hanging shards,
working whistles and ocarinas, kitchen magnets, and cow pie containers
(remember…she’s from Wisconsin!)
