The Santo in Seventeen Crosses is mounted upon painted plywood and surrounded by crosses made of wood and polymer clay. A milagro rests upon the Santo's chest, and copper nails further embellish the piece. SOLD
Icon and Altar began with the small three paneled folding icon. I placed it on top of an altar fashioned from polymer clay, and nestled in a niche formed from a box salvaged from a Katrina debris pile. The support for the piece is plywood, and the small icons are of polymer clay. 15" x 19" x4" SOLD

Leda and the Swan. This piece was made from a beautiful ceramic tile from Cyprus, a fragment of a small drawer, and a slate roof tile from New Orleans. 11" x 15" SOLD
Floral SOLD


Angst of the Artist. I created this tongue-in-cheek piece for a fundraiser. Artists were supplied with a plywood mask form and asked to build a piece from that. I pretty much hid the mask behind feathers made from painted canvas, and attached a wood doll to the front. The doll represents the artist, offering her work to the viewer. Her wings represent her wish that her work soar, but behind the feathers, in the eye holes of the mask, are two polymer clay faces which reveal self-doubt and insecurity. I meant for this piece to poke fun at myself and other artists and in a larger sense, to help us to remember that while the creation of our art may be personally satisfying, it ain't a solution for world peace and it ain't a cure for cancer.

Prayer Beads was a delight to make. I did a lot of it on the Amtrack, going to and from a show in Georgetown. I made the beads and the medallions on the way there, and painted them on the way back.
