collaborations

Decorating forms I normally would never make is super exciting, hence collaboration.  The tea cup is designed by Ryan Fletcher and decorated by myself.  The startled owl is sculpted by Calder Kamin and decorated by yours truly.  These pieces are wonderfully fresh.

NEW WORK!

I just uploaded new photos of a bunch of recent plates.  Look under ceramics.  I hope you love them as much as me

los reas

Here is my latest painting titled Los Reas.  Los Reas is an adorable little house in my neighborhood with quite some character.  I am going to put this picture in their mailbox with a note saying, “I think your house is cute”.

zucchini

I adopted a kitty this past week.  His name is Zucchini and he is the most handsome, wonderful boy I have ever met.

mas plates.

I’ve been developing a line of plates that are full of surprises, letting the decoration slightly peek over the edges to entice exploration.  I am using red art terra sig, underglazes, and colored slips.  Here is a stack in the process.

NEW POTS!! Check out my ceramics page for fresh pots straight out of the soda kiln.

customer parking.

Here is my first painting completed in Kansas City.  I have ample time to work on artwork at home due to no television.  I saw this brick building around the corner from my home and was inspired to do some neighborhood paintings with subtle patterns.

sweet surprise

The other day I had the idea of hiding my patterns and decoration, to create sweet surprises.  The form and color are subtle and simple but when the object is used the decoration unfolds.  These cups are the first of the series, more jars and plates to come!
