This is a project I designed to blend with beautiful handmade tile that I bought at a local tile store. The niche is inlaid with small ceramic tile pieces that I hand formed. The featured center piece, a vase, is inspired by ancient Greek pottery and textiles. The vase is 3 dimensional with raised fish. This is a shower wall and the niche serves as a place to put shampoo or a candle for a luxurious bath! On an adjacent wall are hand sculpted soap dishes/ shelf with complimenting colors. Above the smallest soap shelf is a sculpted frog. These components are examples of making a bath special. I designed the whole interior.

I am a ceramic artist. I sculpt, hand build, throw on the wheel, and design hand made tile. Some of my work is functional, some is for art's sake. All of it is my passion and a gift from God.
I have 30 years of experience in clay alone. I consider myself a person that can do anything (in clay). I have many years experience in custom work, working together and creating one on one designs for clients. My designs are fun and whimsical and I enjoy making people smile. I am all about original. My inspirations come from gardens, nature, southwest desert, and other peoples art or creations.
In all my years in business, I have never had anyone complain, or need me to come back to fix something, or return a custom piece. I have letters of referrals and note cards of overjoyed thanks.
