New Sculpture

New sculpture, exploring new ways to build. This piece is larger than most I have built in the past, H38 x W13. Oxides only. Keeping the piece "quiet" as Debra Fritts would say!

I have been working in the past using dresses as an iconic jumping off point to explore various ideas of female identity using color as a signifier for emotions. The empty dresses are symbolic of female invisibility that can happen in our culture.

Sculptures I have been working on.

Some sculptures I have been working on, exploring new ways to build and using different finishes for each sculpture. Some are "quieter" than others. Some I throw everything at them but the kitchen sink to see what works.

Ram woman, she carries the strength. She whispers Blue words.

Aviator Women......She IS protected.......in all she does. She flies and flies away!

A portrait piece of Eleanor Roosevelt.


DNA..........speaks. We relent.

Emergent........pushing through, ground truthed in I AM.

Bone Kiss.........foundation is everything!


Chaos unfolds..............I just stand there.

The earth envelopes her. Experimental use of many underglazes.

Shadow dancing.......said the small dress to the large.

Yin and Yang..........with a fierce particularity...........leaning towards?


Thought I would add a couple new pieces. The hammer and egg is an old piece and the 4' x 5' dress is a work that is in progress. The black and white dress is an older painting in the dress series. I am exploring the idea of how women sometimes feel invisible in a patriarchal culture with the dress series. I play with my own symbolic icons in my paintings in an effort to explore feelings and work through them.

Also added a sculptural piece. I am experimenting with oxides and underglazes.

This batch of paintings are work I did years ago.  My style is a bit like taming the chaos that is my a.d.d. mind.  Images and words scratch across the surface of my mind barely pausing long enough for me to paint them.
