Plant portrait- Spring Hiking in the High Desert:
Beautiful woven grid design. Rich brown color. Perfect for home decor.
Made to retain the wet feel of clay, it feels alive, soft and yet its ceramic- it takes real skill & artistic sense to be able to do this with clay. The artist left a few carefully places finger marks to further enhance its handmade and pliable feel. This artists intention is to make something a factory never could, that is truly unique, brings inspiration and natural beauty into the lives of those with live with it. She achieved these goals with this piece. Even the grud pattern is hand drawn, revealed in slight irregularities. These irregularities feel natural to us because the natural world is perfect yet irregular. There is a quiet comfort found looking at a piece like this.
Looks amazing with fresh fruit or veggies or nuts or your car keys! in limes, tangerines, walnuts in shells, odds n ends. Etc….
Can go in your dishwasher & microwave- but was not intended to be eaten off of. Low fire earthenware- rich read colors. Embossed Grid pattern, surface is sealed with refined slip (terra sigilatta) and burnished & then a black mineral slip accentuates the embossed pattern.
American ceramic artists- mixed media artist- higher education artist trained at Alfred University.
Artist stamp, or chop mark on bottom.

Into my gut
Into this history

the sun setting and moon rising.
