Wallflower Story
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” – Georgia O’Keeffe
My work speaks of the relationship between the growth that occurs in nature, and the growth that I experience in my own life. Just as mother nature pieces together leaves on a plant to create a larger organism, so too do I piece together smaller slip-cast elements to create a larger whole. The simplified geometric shapes found in my work mirror the shapes of leaves found in nature, reflecting the beautiful geometry of nature. These thoughtful pieces create a ceramic garden where one can relax and contemplate the relationship between what nature creates and what man creates. The latest innovation in this process combines large, rough stoneware pieces with the delicate porcelain sculptures, creating a tension that reflects the challenges I’ve faced in my own life during a time of intense personal change.

Available Colors
Each wall flower is a combination of two glazes, a base color with a top or highlight color to add depth. Because of this each piece is unique and no two wallflowers are exactly alike. Above you will find some examples of these color combinations with a list of the colors I generally keep in my studio below. Custom color palettes are available for an upcharge of 10% and a minimum order of five pieces. Please email me if you would like more information about custom colors.
