Dancing Ladies

My Dancing Ladies series is one of my most favorite collections to create. I was inspired by the captured moment of a beautiful dancing woman as seen in paintings and photography. The flow of the dress, curve of the hips and reach of the arms creates a stunning movement frozen in time. Just as clay that once moved on the wheel is sealed in its position by the heat of the kiln. Like a dance, every moment in our life is fleeting; therefore, I named many of these pieces after a moment in my own life I wish I could capture and save forever like the crystals frozen upon each surface. Each piece below tells their story.

Fountains

I created my fountains to take the crystals to another level: by incorporating water into their design.
