Renamed and heading to Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center for the 44th annual Michigan Fine Arts Competition
Someone survived the kiln and is looking pretty good!

This face is heading to Minneapolis to the last Unicorn Art Show with Otherworldly Arts Collective. ALTR Gallery, Sat June 14th. Stop by if you’re in the area!
Had this mask propped on the sill and the light was hitting him just right this afternoon. Double vision

Took this mug on a walk for morels and couldn’t resist a photo shoot. Looks like Fern Gully out here

Working on a new mask- actually remaking an older one whose glaze didn’t work. So fun!

A ceramic wall mask, to answer the question what if a skunk had a receeding chin?

New work. I love all those textures. My last mask cracked (R.I.P) so fingers crossed for a low and slow dry on this fella

Every Tuesday a bus pulls up and my dog hops on for an afternoon field trip with her bark bus pals. They romp off leash in the woods for a couple hrs and then the bus drops her back off. It’s a terrific arrangement and she is obsessed

Carving up the fur on a new mask. Students keep asking me about it. Like, I don’t know, it’s just a weird creature! The idea came from my mind. I just felt like making it. Yes, of course I am hanging this in my house!

Made a couple mugs for my mom. I’m thinking of spring and peonies on this bitterly cold day. Plus a bonus pic of my horse shedding all over my hand- a sign of spring! Albeit a messy one lol

Keeping’ it weird. As yet unnamed mask sculpture. Clay, glaze, gouache

The country is falling apart and I’m having a hard time making anything. Anyway, here’s an idea I’m playing with. I ran a tool up the finished form to create an undulating line, then bellied out the spaces in between the lines.

Yarrow mugs. A favorite little wildflower, but I really learned about its power when I had a series of illnesses and someone recommended taking yarrow. Now I always keep some on hand. Makes me feel safe knowing that there’s this little plant I can rely on

Playing around around with natural forms and textures. When I made these I was thinking loosely of beetle carapaces but the customer who purchased them did so because they reminded her of the early emergence of skunk cabbage in late winter

Thinking of spring today. Some of my favorite wild plants are my friends here- yarrow, nettle, and Solomon’s seal

Dipping my feet back into making mushroom women. I haven’t since The Last Of Us came out since it sort of ruined the vibe. Hoping they don’t look like fungus zombies

Leaf pitchers. It was a fun challenge to make them pour nicely. Kicking myself for never taking a more professional pic of these as they sold very quickly

I’ve had a hard time finding the right shade of pink. Pretty happy with this combo

Deranged raccoon? Strange weird lil guy? Honestly just seeing where the clay takes me and having a lot of fun with these masks. Such a nice break from the pottery wheel

A close up of a new skunk mask. I’ve been making a series of creature masks, but have no idea how I want to glaze them yet. Might do an acrylic cold finish instead?
