I love the inclusion of the crayon and oil pastels in your work, like using the surface as a canvas...I always wanted to pursue sculpture, but for now I use jewerly as a my medium to create little wearable sculptures!

Where did you live? I like your work a lot. What is the medium? The scale?

Cone 6 ox. with porcelain. I live about a mile from Cushing Rd! Were you trained as an architect? Do you show in Boston?

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for your interest in my work! I've also just added some more pics into my profile if you'd like to check out more of my recent work.
Best Wishes!

I too, was an English major. Even got a Master's and taught high school! Self-taught in clay. Did you live near the rock formation "Devil's Slide"?

The size is constrained by the bisque kiln, most are the comfortable 13" to 22" range for vases. The wall pieces ( cannot remember if one is shown) are the same, high relief.....4" depth. Thank you for noticing...

Hi Margaret, Thanks, they are low fire earthenware. The sizes vary, but I scaled down so I could at least transport my own work. The sizes of these are anywhere from 19" to 37". I have to make myself build smaller sometimes - when I do a show visually I think its more interesting if there are varying heights. Tell me a little more about your work.

Hi Margie, MJ and I are always interested to see the next design you have developed. PS. and thanks for turning us on to this website.

Hi Margaret, Thanks for your comments.  I'm looking forward to being part of this group.  Gudrun

Thanks! : )

Lovely aesthetic - work beautifully on this scale and would be equally successful as large sculpture.  Really nice stuff!

Beautiful. Your have a particular talent with the surfaces. The glazing looks like oil stick and makes me want to touch it.

Stark, contemporary and dramatic. I like the markings which are in whimsical contrast to the forms.
