Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Art Installation

Well it's official, I now have my art on exhibit at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

I have filled a couple of display cases with a selection of my work located near Book People right when you leave security and stop to put your shoes back on  :)

My sculpture and mugs will be on display through the end of the year so if you are traveling through, stop and check it out - - and please snap a photo and tag me! I'm on instagram @tinyhappyclay or Facebook.

In addition to the Airport Exhibition, I will also be participating in the Blue Genie Art Bazaar from Black Friday until Christmas 2018. This is a great opportunity to see amazing local talent chock full of gift sized art! More details to come.

Moving Clay

Things have been crazy since my last post. We decided to move so that has kept me very busy over the past months. Thankfully, a friend and my loving husband helped me hook up my kiln so I am now able to fire again- yay!!!

Because of my new location, which I call "deep south Austin", I am going to participate in the West Austin Studio Tour at the Blue Genie Big Top this year. Hope to see you there!

Hi, How Are You?

Hi, How Are You on this rainy, blue Monday in Austin?

I'm excited to show off my new mugs based on the mural by Daniel Johnston on Guadalupe and 21st by UT. Please shoot me an email if you would like to purchase one, I will be updating local Austin places that will carry them soon. I also have a mug version of the I Love You So Much mural on the side of Jo's Coffee Shop on South Congress. These make great Austin Souvenirs or gifts! The designs are actually etched into the wet clay and a heart shaped stamp is featured on top of each handle. (I'd also love feedback on which one you like better the top brushed green or the bottom peeled paint green texture?)

We had a great 2nd weekend for the West Austin Studio Tour and want to thank everyone for coming out. The evening was topped off by a great jazz quartet band named Kallu Combo! Also, thank you Mariel Fogel and Dawn Winter for showing your work at my studio!

I've been working on new stuff for some upcoming shows. This April I will be in a group exhibition at the Coop Gallery in my home town of San Angelo, Texas. It is April 21-22nd in conjunction with the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts Ceramic Invitational opening. I've got a lovely platter, a yard cat sculpture and some mugs planned to display.

This bird fruit platter was made by rolling a slab of clay and then applying underglaze and stamping for texture. After it dried on a hump mold, it was bisque fired. Then I applied more underglaze and hand-painted the bird image over the top. Clear glaze was added and then it was glaze fired to 05.

I enjoyed creating this piece because it allowed me to play with screen printing (polka dots and some stars on the bottom of the platter) and to explore asymmetry. I found it refreshing and satisfying to create a functional piece with rough, torn edges, and hope to continue in this vein with my hand-built work!

In May, I'm getting ready to open my studio doors for the annual West Austin Studio Tour...stay tuned for details!

West Austin Studio Tour 2017

Here is the flyer for the West Austin Studio Tour, 2017. I am excited to be participating again with guest artists Dawn Winter and Mariel Fogel at my studio! More details to come.

Hello March

Where did February go? I spent the first week of it preparing for my son's Birthday celebration, and the rest, slowly building up my inventory, not to mention restocking mugs and TX dishes at Sugar and Paris on South Congress.
New camera mugs.

 I miss living with pets (sometimes) and this mug is representative of that longing for a cat to curl up with!

 New yard/garden art sculptures. Cute slab-built cats with a funky folk artsy feel! I've got a whole series of these in the works, playing with sizes and designs!

 Decal mug featuring a butterfly in the center and then two halves of another butterfly - one on either side.

 Front of the mug has some decals cut and applied over glaze.

 Back of the mug has a tiger balancing on an incised geometric pattern.

 Pine wood derby car my son and husband built with a little paint help by me. He won the most creative award! It is a wedge of cheese with 2 mice :)

My daughter at the Zilker Botanical Gardens.
