POTTERY-SCULPTURE
One of the significant highlights in my Creations while working with Clay in Pottery and building up Sculptures is the use of Natural Earth Tones found throughout parts of my Native State of California while in the High Sierra Mountains, Big Sur region and in parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Texas, and Idaho Canyons. This includes excursions into central Chihuahua, Mexico near the Sierra Madre Mountains studying the Culture, History and people of these regions known for their works in Pottery.
