Like
most of us, I am in awe of
Nature - especially her foliage. For me, the beauty of leaves is
unmatched, easily overlooked, and endlessly inspiring. Years ago, while seeking a creative outlet, I took a clay class. My first effort - a somewhat lopsided pinch pot - loosely resembled a leaf. Over the years that pot has evolved into an array of unique works, including ceramic leaf sculptures, pressed leaf collages, and wall vases. When it comes to art, absence does not make the heart grow fonder. Art is for everyday. I delight in knowing that my pieces add a touch of Nature's elegance and serenity to homes and offices, and subsequently to the lives of others. It is my hope that as you explore this site you will be reminded of the beauty of Nature's bountiful leaves. Happy wandering! Catherine |
