Sgraffito for Me-o
Clay, New WorkComment

Sgraffito:
A technique where a top layer of color is scratched to reveal a colour beneath. The term comes from the Italian word sgraffire meaning (literally) "to scratch".
I recently figured out how to do sgraffito on terra cotta tiles after a little bit of trial and error. The key is to carve before the first bisque firing and use many layers of white underglaze. I love it, this one is called...HumanBeast...I think.
Getting My Hands Dirty
Clay, New WorkComment
To keep some balance in my soul I have been carving clay tiles at Lill Street Art Center in a class called "Dreams, Myths and Stories" taught by a wonderful artist - Corinne Peterson. This piece is stoneware.
Memoirs of the break-up
Inspiring Artists &..., My Candy Colored World, New WorkComment
Last summer I had the good fortune to get a gig in the movie "the break-up" (coming out in June). There was an art fair scene, so I set up my booth and my friend Eva & I worked as extras for two days of shooting. We had a running joke about Vince Vaughn ... so in my first attempt at collage I made this for Eva for her birthday. I think I'm hooked...too much hgtv!
