Springtime, and a vase that I made.

I made sprig molds of my jewellery, and created a bunch of sweet little ceramic magnets.
Neat to see my carvings represented so differently.

This was an interesting project that came my way, early in the Fall of 2020. He wanted them in time, to be worn, for the 2020 US Presidential election.
This became an important project for me.
Even in Canada, I felt the weight of it then, and even more so now.
Wishing best to American neighbours

Apple Sweater. This is one of my favourites. I made 900 of these, for a sculpture competition (where I represented Canada at the IV Jeux de la Francophonie, in 2001). This piece, and so many things about it, break my heart (in the best way), every time.

Big Dipper key chain, 5 pieces for 5 sisters.
When they come together two stars are formed.

Love and stardust.
Always.

Kali, a Belgian Malinois, military-trained dog passed away in 2020. This piece was commissioned as a gift for her trainer, as a way to remember her, and keep her close. Always.

We could all use a Guardian Angel about now.
She is a sweetheart that will always be happy to dance with you.
A funky, punky Guardian Angel, for someone you wish the most for.
Near or far.
Find her, and everything I make on my website:

Loads of snow in Toronto!
Thought I’d share this icy piece I made many years back.
Poppy House
Is a carving of the first house I lived in, as an adult, carved from memory.
Poppy seeds and water were frozen in the mold.
The piece melts, and the seeds are distributed by nature.

I like making these little objects.
Melting wax, and building a heart.
Raw and gloopy.
Unique as a fingerprint.

I’ve been making these sweet little porcelain rabbits (and other critters), that are installed on the wall.
They can be, just as they are - playful wall sculptures, or serve as jewellery holders in practical places.
