100 Words and a Picture


There are many untold stories behind the art that hangs in our gallery.

I would say, equally as interesting as the art itself.


How about telling your story, its easy and people want to hear it.

"​I have always drawn and produced objects with my hands using Mother Nature as my inspiration."
It was only after enrolling in a leisure learning pottery class in 1994 that I was introduced to the versatility of creating art using clay. Since then I have devoted my spare time to making pottery as well as drawing.

​​To form a clay piece, I begin by throwing the clay on a wheel forming an urn or bowl or rolling slabs out for tiles. I then sculpt my nature inspired scene on each piece. After air drying the pieces are bisque fired. I may add a glaze to the piece or high fire it “au naturel” since I prefer the finished pieces to reflect the natural clay coloring.
 


When at my drawing desk, I do pastel portraits of pets using images supplied by the client, as well as landscapes and fauna using images I capture on vacations or just on my farm.
