Opens @archivalgallery Wednesday

Opens @archivalgallery Wednesday

Sometimes things happen gradually, and other times a sudden realization hits you like a ton of bricks (in a good way!). That’s what happened to me in February. I was inspired by the work of Sacramento ceramicist Kris Marubayashi, especially her “Caldera” forms. It was like a lightbulb went off in my head!

You see, my landscape pieces have always been pretty flat. But Kris’s gently domed pieces inspired me to try something new. Not only does this breathe fresh life into my aerial views, but it also showcases one of my favorite things about ceramics: how light and shadow play with the clay.

I’m always learning and growing as an artist, and I’m excited to share my new work with you. My new exhibition at Archival Gallery features three new pastoral aerials.

The show runs from April 3rd to 26th, and the opening reception is on April 12th from 5 to 8 pm. I hope to see you there!

An inspiring exhibition @crockerart focused on Northern California ceramic artist, Mary Tuthill Lindheim is definitely worth seeing! It’s up through Feb 16.

My question… if you have seen it, do you know if the carnelians inset on the last pic would’ve/could’ve been through the kiln?

A few days of twisting wire never hurt anyone… sorta. But it was worth it, just to see these all hanging out together and looking sweet!
