New Work: Porcelain Tiles

I’ve been working on some new pieces. I find that the more I let go and relax, the more the work flows through me—from the heart through the hands.

I love working with porcelain clay. I love its purity of color and texture; I love the way it challenges me—they way it manifests my energy of the moment. Here are some small tiles that I’ve just completed, and a large piece in progress.

    I love your work. It’s so intricate. And you’re right about relaxing and letting it flow. It’s the same for me with writing. Wish I could do what you do…
