I hope some of you will find the opportunity to see my new show at the Piedmont Craftsmen Gallery. My focus for this show is animal vases and sculptures. In this new collection, I intend to show the distinctive personalities of each animal through color, pattern, and expression.

My ongoing menagerie features my favorite creatures-- reimagined, foxes, owls, rabbits, and swans.

These animals evoke memories of childhood fairy tales, where each creature often embodies a unique role or trait that captures the imagination. Foxes, with their cunning nature, and wise owls represent the lessons woven into those stories, reminding us of the fantastical adventures and moral choices faced by characters. This connection to fairy tales highlights the charm and whimsy of these animals but also establishes a deeper bond with the natural world. Each piece is a tribute to the wonder of nature and the innocence of childhood, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty and magic of the living creatures that share our environment.
