Galleries 2022

2022

Gallery 2022 includes new work, as well as some work from 2021 that was included in my solo exhibition February 2022 at Muddy Waters Clay Center, as well as in the exhibition at the ArtWise Gallery in Columbia Mall, Grand Forks, ND., where my work was featured, along with the work of photographer, Michael Bogert May 12 through June 24.

I continue to work in series of several pieces that focus on a concept or idea, theme...

but this year there will be fewer sculptures, more functional work--vases and mugs. I particularly want to work with pops of color and that's why there are several springy celedons. Trying to develop slab work, asymmetrical vases, more texture...

Some of my work is available for purchase at Muddy Waters Clay Center Gallery, Grand Forks, ND, which is open 10 - 4 Saturdays, (10 - 2 during summer months.)

Or, contact me via e-mail through this site, with any questions about particular pieces.

And I'm ending the year 2022 with some funky wall vases made of strips of clay. I also have a few pieces in process, awaiting bisque and glaze firing...hopefully those pieces will begin the new year with the metaphor--the world is a bear :)

So many Alices; so much wonder --a series that I began last year and am continuing...
