White clay is a boundless medium that I love creating functional, three-dimensional canvases to paint and print on.  I use both commercial and homemade under glazes for my palate (all of which are sealed with a clear, food-safe, durable glaze that is fired to cone 6 (2232 degrees Fahrenheit) in an oxidation atmosphere(electric kiln).  All of my reproducible images are created from original, hand-carved stamps and screen prints.  I am always making new stamps and personalizing special orders.  So stay tuned for new creations.

I am greatly inspired by birds.  Birds are in abundance around my home and on our daily hikes through the wooded Blue Ridge Mountains of Brevard, NC.  My bird images to date are: a large and small warbler, warbler perched on branch, warbler on bark, Carolina chickadee in flight,  Carolina chickadee on branch, great horned owl perched on branch, white breasted nuthatch on bark, robin, crow, set of three spotted eggs, ruffled feather, warbler nest in branches, song bird nest in branches and a shimmering broad tail hummingbird.
