Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This was not in my plans for today, but 2025 gives no fucks about my plans 😓 On the bright side, being a ceramic artist means I conveniently have many buckets and bins available for catching drips 🫠

We could all use a little extra luck and encouragement to persevere these days. I packed six lucky symbols into this functional sculpture - can you find them all? Get lucky and snag this piece at In Praise of Small Things opening next Friday, February 28th at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana 🍀🤞

Ceramic vase comprised of a stack of Japanese-inspired lucky symbols sitting on a wood table against a slate blue wall. At the bottom of the stack is a red Daruma with a fiercely cute face and a yellow Koi (carp) on his side. On top of the Daruma is a Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) with a white belly and brown mask and ears with bamboo motifs on his sides. On top of the Tanuki is a Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat) with right paw raised, a red collar and yellow bell, and wide yellow eyes. At the top of the stack is a Fukuro (Owl) with bright, folk-art inspired eyes, a brown beak, and scallop design feathers.

Do something kind and nourishing for yourself today - something that feeds your soul and energizes your spirit. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of each other. ❤️
