artist statement 2023
I love working with clay and have been co-creating with clay for 33 years. What have I discovered over time by hand building clay? One thing, there is much more going on than just creating clay objects and a career as an artist. I’m creating expressions of my relationship with clay and with this sacred world and the beings here; animals, birds, owls, horses, trees, flowers, medicine plants and two legged humans, all manifestations of the sacred dream of love and power. another thing i have observed; that energy is imprinted in these artworks. Viewers may sense that energy in the artwork and recognize something resonating in themselves.
Consciously and with a cultivated awareness, I work and live within this energetic ocean of Creation. My artworks are one way that I honor this relationship with the energy of Creation.
The natural world is filled with wonders, curiosities, teachers, and amazing beauty. What is that all about? I’ve wondered about the beauty of this world from early on in this lifetime. What is is that I’m drawn to in the natural world, the more pristine, the more beautiful and powerful Nature appears to me. The Natural world is revealing and communicating something.
My work with clay is a way of exploring, honoring and expressing my curiosity and growing relationship with Sacredness of Nature and the Mystery of Creation. Working with clay, fire and dreams, my artwork is a practice of perceiving the sacred in the moment, in myself, in the clay, Mother Earth, and honoring and building that relationship by bringing sacred dreams from the Mystery into the literal world.
With clay, the dreams in my heart become form. I work with clay, co- creating with this sacred One, watching the piece come into being. This process feels magical; I leave the marks and “imperfections” of this exciting process visible in the texture and the surface of the artwork. I layer into the surface colorful under glazes and/or slip. The piece is fired twice, sometimes more. Under glazes while permanent have a soft matte surface which allows the texture of the clay and the forming process to remain visible.
With humility and gratitude I offer these, my clay creations.
p.s. I'm setting up a series of online classes. Watch for more : ).

5 out of 5 starsI'm a Japanese customer and international shipping took me about two weeks because I chose the most affordable shipping option. The item was babble-wrapped and packed with cushioning paper for further protection. The item perfectly matched the description and I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Thank you BlueFire for creating such a beautiful owl figure and making your works globally available.

5 out of 5 starsThe owl is wonder-filled. It's a beautiful piece of artwork that is a fantastic addition to my artistic collection. The owl arrived well wrapped and with an artist statement that helped me learn more about the artist. I recommend this artwork.

5 out of 5 starsI’ve been looking at this shop for a long time and finally bought an owl for my daughter, who loves owls. I’m saving it for her for Christmas. I think she’ll love it as much as I do! The colors are so vivid. Packing and presentation were superb. Very impressed!
