This new sculpted vase is made with women's health in mind. It is a wonderful gift for that special woman in your life and it is a subtle reminder that you care about her well-being!
The vase is created in a warm terra cotta colored clay, or is glazed in a variety of colors, including earthy reds, soft greens or muted blues. Although each is handcast in a pressmold, each is different because of the handmade nature of this process. The terra cotta vases are perfect for holding dried grasses and twigs, while the glazes vases will hold cut flowers and water.
$10 of each purchase goes to an organization that makes researching women's heart health their priority.
The vase is approximately 16" tall. The unglazed version sells for $175. The glazed version sells for $210. Shipping is extra. Contact me at 828-279-5460 for more information.
This portrait depicts a soldier from the War of 1812. Commissioned by Westchester County, NY, it was cast in bronze and placed on The Trail of Honor at Lasdon Park in Somers, New York. The county's Veterans' Association was the driving force behind the commission and installation at the park. The sculptures along TheTrail of Honor represent an American service man or woman from every major war and conflict, from the Revolutionary War through the 20th century.
This clay sketch captures her youth in a loose and spontaneous style.
Children's art classes, group and private, are offered Thursday and Friday afternoons. Lessons in drawing, painting, collage, pottery, sculpture and printmaking are included, according to the interest and age of the children. The best learning occurs while having fun!
Portfolio preparation is also available to serious high school students who wish to apply to art schools with an excellent portfolio of their work. Included are extensive drawing studies of the figure, portrait, and design.
Adult classes are by arrangement.
