Princess Yaguchi
Large Horse - Wood Fired
The Rice Goddess Inari
Hotei (Buddha)
These sculptures arose from the world of legends. Japanese, Celtic and those of the Native Americans have been a rich resource for imagery. The folk tales deal with the common themes of temptation, love, good and evil. These are issues that transcend cultures and time.
Hand built from clay slabs each piece is unique. Using a wide range of clay and glazes I let the fire of the kiln make the final touches of color and expose the organic nature of the clay. I love to place my legendary figures in the garden setting. The stoneware clay holds up well for garden art. Please join me in the retelling of these ancient legends of heroes, Goddesses and the struggles of the common man.
