I am a self-taught sculptor from the finger lakes region of New York State making botanical sculpture art from porcelain and clay.
As a child, I made my toys from modeling clay from as early as 4 years old. I created everything from animals, airplanes, soldiers, sports figures. I really would make cool sculptures of anything I could imagine. I made my first flower at age 10 and it was a red and white rose for my mother. I knew then that I would always be able to go back to making ceramic flowers and beautiful sculptures to make money but didn't do so until I was 26 years old.
Now 4 years later I have made almost 1,000 of these detailed artworks with each one bringing a deeper meaning other than just their obvious beauty. Every now and then I say I want to make a work of art other than a flower or succulent plants but I always go back to forming petals in that geometric sequence that is so captivating. Each unique artwork is different and I won't ever stop making them. After all the world can always use more flowers.

If you wait for the kiln to cool to around 130 degrees F then you can avoid the cracks in the glaze, unless that is what you were going for.

Stunning. I can't afford your beautiful art, but I can admire them on the Web. Ever considered making a white calla lily?
