"Through the Fire" Art

It's All Clay

She was staring right at the woman on the edge, not at the skeleton, the snake or the alligator on the bowl I call "It's All Clay". The flash from the photo of the ceramic bowl must have made her face come to light...third eye and all. The bowl is actually completely empty and portrayed how I was feeling at the time I made it. Seeing the woman's face in the black bowl years latter was an awesome transforming surprise.

It's All Clay

After making that first bowl, I continued expressing and sculpting my feelings in clay. The many pieces made over those years reveal the process and steps taken while transforming from shadow to light and is explained and illustrated in my book. The face in the bowl, “Spirit Woman”, as I now call her, has guided me to share my art and my journey, reminding us all that even when we feel alone, on edge or in the dark, we are not. Enjoy the journey!
