Large Modern Planters
I make my planters from earthenware clay that remains porous yet strong after firing. This and multiple drainage holes help get oxygen to your plant's roots, water to properly drain, and prevents root rot. All of this makes for happy plants!

Hi There! I’m an artist. I create works that commemorate important life events as well as add joy to every day life. I'm here to create the art you want.
I am a multimedia artist based in Northern New York with over 10 years working with clay and much longer with paint. My work can involve anything from a tea pot shaped like your cat to a large painting, or jewelry.
I love working one on one with people to bring their ideas into reality. If you have an idea for something that you just can’t seem to find it anywhere, I want to hear from you.
My work is a fusion of art and craft that blurs the boundary between these traditions.
I attended Alfred University from 2002 to 2006, earning a BFA. I have attended Medalta International Artists Residency, The Penland School of Crafts, Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, and the Women's Studio Workshop for residencies and workshops in ceramics. I also attended the Vermont Studio Center for a four-week residency in painting. My work has won numerous awards, been shown in various local galleries as well as venues in Canada, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York City.

For Dilip's Wall Tapestry4.8I had commissioned a tapestry for my office and the first part of the project was to have a painting done. This part has been completed and I was satisfied with the rendering. I can only leave a complete review, after I receive the tapestry. Since the whole project was to be handled by Sara. I will gladly give my review again, once I get the tapestry.

For Salt and pepper shakers Project1.5Beware her return policy as well as CustomMade's useless "guarantee". She was very enthusiastic during the proposal stages of the project but once she realized she wasn't able to execute the initial vision, she told me I had to "make a choice", basically telling me I needed to sacrifice what I wanted for the sake of the project getting done. For the price paid for custom pieces you'd think you would get better accommodation than that. She sent an early final draft of the project which I was unhappy with. She seemed to respond well to the feedback but once I received a followup progress picture the shakers were even less closer to the initial vision than before. At this point she said that there's nothing else that she could do and she marked them ready to ship. I'm not overly demanding by any means but this project was poorly handled from start to finish, and the way she handled feedback was unresponsive and apathetic. Who knows, maybe if I wasn't on a deadline she would've been able to get it right. But she shipped the pieces later than the proposed date and I barely got them in time so fixing them was not possible. I do not recommend this maker at all.

For Navy love birds4.8I found some cake toppers for my wedding cake that I loved and because I was unable to get them in a timely manner, I found custom made and Sara came to the rescue. She was fantastic. I loved my toppers!
