Sunset on Lake Superior
A nice piece that just went out the door this week. This is from a picture of Lake Superior that the client sent me. This will go into the back wall of their shower. It’s china paint on commercial tile. You’re not going to get this kind of variety or subtlety of color with any other ceramic medium.
Pine Tree
This is a piece I did in 2013. I went and photographed it when it was installed, but they just sent me this picture again to tell me how much they like it. A nice New Year’s present. I love it when people like living with my work.
Mt. Rainier backsplash
This picture just came in. It’s a small backsplash I did back in 2019, showing Mt. Rainier. It’s an unusual one for me, as this is cone 4 oxidation glazes, not china paint. I used to do a lot of this, but hardly any these days.
Heron & Friends
This is a new rendition of a catalogue image I’ve done several times before. On the Shop page of this web site, it’s much smaller, but I can make any image fit any space for you. This one is 4’ x 4’, and has a few dragonflies added to it. It’s china paint on a plain white gloss ceramic tile.
Annual Holiday Open Studio Sale
The sale will be a little different this year (isn't everything?). Just my tiles and paintings and Rupa Palasamudram's pots. We'll have all the doors and windows open, masks required, one party of any size at a time.
Misty Forest tiles
Another small kitchen backsplash that just got shipped out. This one is actually based on one of my acrylic paintings, and is done with china paints on commercial subway tile. The staggered tiles make it a little bit harder to paint on, but not much.
Isaiah 55:12
This tile panel just went home today. It’s 3’ x 4’, on 12” x 12” porcelain tiles. It’s going to be installed, framed, on an exterior wall of a new house. The clients had originally wanted a kitchen backsplash, but plans changed.
Italian Dinner I
This is a little kitchen backsplash mural that just went off to a home in Vancouver, WA. This is one of my standard catalogue images, probably the most popular one in the bunch.
Trees
This little mural, on 12” tiles, will be installed on a fence. It will be directly outside a kitchen window and will make it look more like the view out the rest of the windows in this house. The colors in this photo are pretty off. It’s nowhere near that yellow.
Dogs at the Beach
Here's a tile piece that went home the other day. It's 4.5' x 4.5' and will go in the back of a shower in a new house in eastern Washington. It shows the clients' three dogs (only one of which is still with them) at their place on Priest Lake, Idaho. It's china paint on 6" ceramic tile.
