I love cactus flowers in the summer. Those flowers are so lush and #wide and they bloom thru the most epic thorns in the most epic hot temps. 🔥 #blueskyartshow #cactusflower #flower #summerlove
My latest creation; a ceramic plant sculpture. This is my very first garden sculpture. #ceramics #ceramicsculpture #garden #gardendecor
This is what the inside of a Deer's sinus cavity looks like from inside the skull. Isn't it beautiful? #macro #blueskyartshow #photography #deer #contemporaryphotography
This is prob the prettiest color of ocean #growth I've ever seen. I love that pink color 😍💖 #blueskyartshow #oceanphotography
Sometimes it's not about the light at the end of the tunnel, but the shadows you have to get past. #blueskyartshow #shadowplay #Yosemite #photography

My sister asked me, "Why would you make a ceramic vase that ends up looking like a real rock?" And my response was, "Do you have any idea how hard it is to make something look like real #stone?" This had so many different textures, glazes, oxide washes, cutting, carving. #blueskyartshow #pottery
My first time trying out the Frozen Pond glazing technique. Decided to use purple as the base instead of the traditional black. This technique was created by Kathy McGuire of Fresno, CA, USS
Resist the temptation to find inspiration from social media platforms, or the web in general. Everything you need can be found nearby. This was a mushroom I found growing from the concrete on my neighborhood street. #mushrooms #dailyinspiration #photography
Happy Winter Solstice ❄️ Always one of my favorite #holiday #blueskyartshow #cat #catlovers #holidayportraits #Christmas
Pumpcasso! I was inspired by Cubism art for this year's pumpkin carving. Was going for abstract faces. #blueskyartshow #autumn #pumpkin #Halloween #pumpkincarving
This was the mug I made for the 2025 Blindfold Pottery Challenge. Currently up for auction for the Fun Eye Fund to raise awareness for those who are visually disabled. All proceeds will go to help people in need of prosthetic eyes. Auction is live! charityauctions.com/event/auctio...
Tried out a new pulling technique in my pottery wheel. Used both hands outside the pot to pull the clay up. It works! Black porcelain with a matcha matte shino glaze. #pottery #shinoglaze #ceramics #ceramicvase
Disease. Illness. Attacks on the body at the microspoic level. Recent hospital trauma has left its mark on my psyche. In this piece, I tried to capture that moment of infection. The texture was made with real teeth. Imagine being devoured. #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #pottery #art
My favorite bookshop. They have the best selection of indie scifi books with staff reviews.
Decided to try out carving a ceramic piece straight from a fresh block of clay. No wheelthrowing, no handbuilding, no coiling. Just carving. It was exhilarating. #pottery #ceramics #carving #ceramicvase #ceramiccarving
My Dia de los Muertos sculpture. Mixed media. The skull is made from wild ceramic clay harvested from my backyard fired to Cone 06. Painted designs made with acryllics. The flower is poly clay. The stem and leaves are copper wire. #ceramics #pottery #mixedmedia #polyclay #wildclay #diadelosmuertos
Lots of #gratitude for the fish restock at our favorite spot. Nothing beats watching the sunrise with your family on the lake while catching your dinner. #BlueSkyArtShow #gonefishing #fishing #family
