Terra cotta
clay is extremely versatile. My mask series for
instance, incorporates a press mold process in
which the faces alone are pulled from molds and
then subsequently embellished individually with
leaves, fruit and flowers.
I also like to enhance the natural beauty of the clay with colour and glazes to create whimsical designs in a full range of functional and figurative motifs. Many of my recent works are specifically designed for garden display.
After being fired, the sculptures are given a cold wash finish. Many of my works have been exhibited in public and private galleries and are held in private collections across North America and Europe.
Please have a look around this web site to view samples of my work past and present.
As specific pieces become available I will post them in my on-line shop. I also encourage you to enquire about any special commission works you may have in mind.
