Commission Gallery

 

Creating a commission piece is an organic process, from original sketches to final hand delivery.  It brings me joy to work with my clients and collaborate creatively on the final vision of a piece. Each ceramic piece is individually handmade and fired in my studio.  I am drawn to incorporating organic natured materials that offer texture found in natural fibers and textiles. I work within a range of clay bodies to achieve a cohesive piece, from porcelain to a variety of hues in stoneware. 

Porcelain Waterfall

Dimensions: 2 1/4" L X 4' H, $3,500 

This larger stunning, statement piece will be the focal point of any room.  Made of porcelain rings and hand imprinted with seashells to add texture and depth.  The rod and clay body can be customized for your commission piece needs.

Each of my pieces are inspired by nature and landscapes of this beautiful earth.  My work in clay is an extension of my soul and how I view the majesty of the space we are gifted to live and breathe.  

Moon Rising

Dimensions: 13" W X 34" H, $495

The perfect neutral and textural accent piece for any room.  Made of porcelain, accented with cotton cording and genuine horse hair.  The clay body and/or horse hair can be customized for your commission piece needs.

Form, texture, shadow, and sound all play a role in the creation of my pieces.  My intention is to express a sense of peace, tranquility, and interest through each shape, texture, gradation and harmony of neutrals.

Sandstone Waterfall

Dimensions: 20"W X 36"H, $1,500

This larger stunning, statement piece will be the focal point of any room.  Made of warm stoneware clay and hand dipped to add depth and interest.  The wood  and clay body can be customized for your commission piece needs.

Each piece is unique and speaks to the clay body chosen for its intended environment.  Stoneware has a grit and sand to it that breaths an easy casualness to it.  Stoneware can be found in a variety of colors, individual pieces and colors can be mixed to create interest, and a cohesive color palette.  Raw, unglazed clay creates a beautiful texture and can be washed with a translucent layer for a two tone effect.

Moon Shadow

A variety of glazes can elevate a piece as well as create texture and interest.  Glazes can create a mood of elegance when shiny or a casual understated sophistication when fired in a matte hue.
