Artist Statement
One of a kind ceramic pieces, using wheel first then alter the pieces; transforming them into animals or nature inspired pieces. Low fired/ with bright glazes and middle range too. See Series of Spiritual animals inspired on Alebrijes (sculptures from Mexico) armadillos, fox, and other animals use as inspiration.
Biography
My ceramics are individual and unique, making each object appear naturally imperfect with enduring value. I used low (red also) and middle range clays, this gives me the opportunity to play with bright colors. I do the pieces on the wheel and then alter them,(cutting) adding pieces (tails, heads, etc) to the original piece.
My love for nature has been a signature stamp that I include in my work. I create space for beautiful wood sticks that I have collected near the ocean, each stick creates a vision in mind for that particular new and original piece.
