— in Nevada City, California.

This piece is based on the Hans Christian Anderson tale, The Wild Swans.

Work in progress. Greenware with slips.

Goddess Planters. SOLD.

This is more of an autobiographical piece. Out of the darker bottom there are words, scratch marks, and circles, rising up to her headdress. The colors become increasingly lighter and her eyes are gazing upward and outward. Not quite realized her dreams, but achieving so much more in the process.

Her Dream. Almost ready for bisque firing.

This piece is so special, because it is combining my love of clay, metal and paint into one work. My world just got bigger, and I am in heaven today!! Resting after class, but will be back at it later. So many ideas, thoughts...my mind is ALIVE.

She was meant to become Yemaya, my beloved Ocean goddess. But she has transformed me and herself into something else still unfolding.

I will do Yemaya for sure. But this piece is evolving and I want to let it continue. Thank you to my incredible teacher, Deborah Bridges. No words!!!

Wall hanging, approximately 3’ in height. Hollow ceramic.

Medusa is named for the hair she once had. When I first sculpted her, she had a fantastic head of hair that curled around her, almost like snakes. I loved how they made her look regal. However, before she made it into the kiln to be bisque fired, her hair started to fall off. Most of it was because I had made errors in attaching her hair, and as a result it started to fall off as soon as I started to paint it. Rather than scrap her, I looked closely at her big eyes and bald head…and felt she was even stronger. Now she feels empowered by her change, rather than gaining power by changing others. She is my homage to all those who have gone through chemotherapy, as well as those who visit infusion centers, just like I do, to treat their illnesses. I stand with you.

$400.

Revelations is 24” in height. Ceramic (bisque fired), with oil paint and oxide.

Revelations is a very special piece. When I was training at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, I was very lucky to be able to learn parts of the dance called Revelations, which is an important piece in the history of modern dance. This figure represents the power and poise that the dancers possess when performing the piece, and the emotional response I had from learning it. She also is one of the first pieces I have ever sculpted.

$600.

$200.

Mary, II. 24"×24", oil, acrylic and charcoal on birch. Wired and ready to hang.

$250.

The Journey is first and foremost my autobiography, from childhood to present time. Embedded deep into the painting are drawings, sketches, scribbles - all parts of me. BUT - I put this story into a more universal translation so that anyone could derive meaning from it. I am not one to publish books or tell stories about my life in words - painting is much more meaningful to me personally.

She is so special and it took many long hours to create her, but I didn't notice those hours. She emerged alchemically.

Sold.

36” x 36”, acrylic, graphite, charcoal and ink on birch plywood.

This painting is about moving on from difficult situations, to embracing who we are and how we move forward into new experiences.

For me personally, the woman is a warrior, a bird who is taking flight and moving up and out from feelings holding her back. You can see in her skirt a few things that have personal meaning - a cane on the right, and a face on the left, musing 'why is this scary?'.
