Oh the joys of a creative deadline!

The days have been flying by, I am completely immersed in studio time. The weather has been helpful, adding that warm winter glow that’s makes Christmas seem close. With coffee in hand I walk across the yard, open the door to my studio and the smell of clay awakens my senses. If you have never had the privilege of experiencing that smell. think wet clean earth.

The concentrated creative time is bliss, A pleasure I have taken for granted too many times. This year feels different. My work keeps me in the present. I find that the ideas are coming so fast and furious, a pen and paper have become my companion.

In 5 days, I will have the privilege to spend the day with Karen and Chris at Bluerock Gallery.  We will be  showing my work and catching up with all of you. After Saturday my work will remain in the gallery for sale. There will be new works and old favorites available.

Here is a sneak peek at some sculptural pieces I have been working on.

These houses are from a series I started working on back in our “Terra Cotta” days. I had put it on the shelf for a year. They kept calling to me. This is a theme that is very close to my heart these days.  The first image is one of the houses leather hard stage, the second image is one at finished stage.

There will also be many old favorites such as chili pepper salsa bowls, mixed media pieces, baking dishes, whimsical boxes and jewelery.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, Dec. 10th at Bluerock Gallery , 110 Centre Ave. Black Diamond. For more info: Bluerock Gallery
