Up a Creek

I made this piece as a statement about being helpless. Although it is presented in a way that is somewhat amusing, there really isn't anything funny about finding oneself without a paddle. I've chosen to depict the idea in this way because I feel compelled to acknowledge that life isn't perfect - but can't bring myself to do it without a bit of humor.....

This is a one of a kind ceramic sculpture for the wall. It's a good sized piece - measuring 15" high by 9" wide and 7" deep. It is ready to hang in a special place.


This piece is for sale in my Etsy shop:

Drifting Off....

There are times when I feel that my head will surely explode with all the information and ideas held within. And then, there are gentler times when (like a slow leak) all that good stuff drifts and flows to surround....

Swiss Cheese Memory

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like I have a giant head full of memories that elude me. Oh yes, they're all still there somewhere - but retrieving them is another matter all together.....
