This highly 3-dimensional tile is what emerged when I decided to do something similar to a collage with clay forms rather than paper. The use of underglazes only (no heavy or shiny glazes) gave me the ability to be more “painterly” in my approach.

Looking forward to doing some further exploration!

A rustic rendition of ripe blueberries in July.

This buttercup tiles is rather “broody" in its dark tones… Flowers and buds hide beneath a center cluster of leaves.

Six pomegranates huddle together on a tile whose background glaze is nearly black with bronze undertones and accents. The form is press-molded, and embellished with hand-carving. The pomegranates are a combination of subtle underglaze colors with shiny red-glazed seeds.

This hand-carved tile in medium-relief celebrates the budding and vitality of vine flowers. Rendered in shades of purple, light greens and alabaster white.
