Blue Fire

Clay Artworks....Whimsical, spiritual, colorful owls, horses and birds...
each hand made from clay, a unique, colorful, signed work of art...

....the hand-built clay artworks i create are expressions of my joyful relationship
with the natural world; animals, birds, owls, horses and two legged humans,
all manifestations of the sacred dream of love and power...gifts from
the Great Mystery, the energetic ocean of Creation...
The natural world is filled with wonders, curiosities, teachers, beauty...
Nature is the revelation of the Divine, the Mystery. .......
beauty, the sacred made visible .......
..........my work with clay is a way of honoring and
expressing my sacred relationship with Nature and
the Mystery. Working with clay, fire and dreams, artwork
is the practice of perceiving the sacred in the moment..
.....and honoring that truth... bringing sacred dreams
from the mystery into the literal world.
......using clay and my hands i bring the dreams in my heart
into form ...i work with the clay, co-creating with the clay....
watching the piece come into being...this feels magical....
i leave the marks of this exciting process visible in
the texture of the surface of the artwork.... I layer into the
surface colorful under glazes, terra sigillata or slip. the piece
is fired several times. Under glazes while permanent have a soft look allowing the texture of
the clay and the forming process to remain visible.
I am grateful to have been working with clay in this way for 20 years!
