Just a few of the little sweeties I've just unloaded from the kiln! Butter, cheese, a surprise dessert - these wee cloches are perfect! #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist #functionalart

How cute are these!? All available next month @shopmakers.ca in the @shoporchardpark - I can't wait!! #artist #buycanadianart #functionalart #ceramics #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

Unloaded a bisque fire this morning I'm excited to glaze these! Some of these will be available next month in my space at @shopmakers.ca at @orchardparkmall #artist #functionalart #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

I made some ceramic spoons yesterday, they're so adorable! They will go very nicely with my swirl bowls. Available next month @shopmakers.ca in Orchard Park Mall!! I can't wait!! #artist#spoonart#canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist#functionalart #ceramicartist

I made a barnacalized butter dish today! It's so cute! It will be available on my shelves next month at the new @shopmakers.ca store at Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna. #artist #ceramics #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

Each of these piexes are individually made - no molds or patterns. I'm thinking I need to make matching spoons🤔 These will both be available next month at a new @shopmakers.ca store in Kelowna! So excited! #artist #okanaganartist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #ceramicartist

Not a very practical vessel - but interesting to look at...? I'm seeking to make more unconventional pieces; familiar yet ambiguous... #functionalart #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicart

All these porcelain sculptures look like they belong in an alien coral reef! #artist #ceramicart #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

I have named these "Tafoni Vessels" - after the natural formations VM created by water and wind on rocks and sand. Nature is an excellent sculptor! #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicart #functionalart

Sometimes, a piece of work I've created just gives me pure joy- this little guy is one of them! It was fun to make and even better to see having made it through its bisque fire safely this morning. #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicart #ceramicartist

My pottery hoard...it's very satisfying to look at all my work all tucked away awaiting a new home...maybe it's yours?? #artist #pottery #functionalart #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

This 6-legged pod vessel is ready for drying now! I've been trying to take some of my favorite encaustic sculptural forms and make them in clay - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! #artist #encaustic #ceramicsculpture #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture

This is a couple of clay vessels under way in the studio today....both will be high-fired and have encaustic embellishments added afterwards...😁🐝❤️ #artist #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

This is my #encaustic and paper #sculpture made of some of my recycled projects - the 450+ "pollen balls" represent the more than 450 indigenous bees species in BC that are at risk due to loss of habitat and introduced species. On exhibit this June! #artist #canadianartist #womanartist

This is a large paper and #encaustic woven basket I'm currently working on for a group exhibition in June. It's hard to see the scale in this photo, but it's almost 3 feet across the top! It will hold a very large number of.....well you'll just have to wait and see what those will be #femaleartist

This little weirdo is all done! Two d-rings seen into the back means it can hang in any configuration, or just sit on a tabletop. #encaustic, #fosshape, and pigment #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #wallsculpture #waxartist

This one is still in progress, but I'm loving the caviar-like feel of the eggs/seeds/pearls on the inside.... luscious. #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encaustic #encausticsculpture

Started something new today! Just letting the materials guide my way.... #fosshape #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #encaustic

I have multiple bins in my studio containing encaustic bits and bobs; some were made for a project, but never used, and others are the result of reclamation, all just waiting for another chance. One of the best qualities of encaustic - it can be recycled and reused! #encaustic #artist

I've been researching indigenous bees recently and have become fascinated with pollen, flowers, and their reproductive bits... "Fruiting Bodies", wall sculpture, encaustic, fosshape, paper,wire and pigment. #encaustic #artist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #encausticsculpture #waxartist

This is the 3rd encaustic workshop I'll be running this year! This one is early June at Brentwood College on Vancouver Island, hosted by the Metchosin International Summer School, aka MISSA missa.ca/shop/dimensi... #artist #encaustic #canadianartist #encausticworkshop

This piece has turned out to be more of a bigger job than planned...that seems to happen a LOT to me!! 😜 I've named it "Fruiting Bodies". #encaustic #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #waxartist

Why is this so weirdly satisfying to hear and look at!?!? 🤔😋🤪 Progress on this #encausticsculpture today.... #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #artist #ceramicartist #waxartist

Some more of my "function art" in clay 😁 #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

This is a #wallsculpture I created in #porcelaine #paperclay a few weeks ago. Inspired by sea anemones but looking a bit like a cactus too!! #artist #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

vernonarts.ca/classes/natu... It's live - you can now register for my 5-day encaustic workshop this August at the Vernon Arts Centre! This is going to be a really fun class 😁🐝❤️

I'll be teaching two encaustic workshops this fall at the first ever Canadian Encaustic Conference in Ontario! #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist

It looks like some large weird crustacean has landed on my work table today!! This is the underside of a new wall sculpture... #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #waxartist

A ceramic anemone with two wee humans nestled inside. Entitled "Symbiosis" #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #ceramicartist

This is a ceramic sculpture with encaustic paint, I made custom colors with powder pigments. #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #ceramicartist #waxartist

A pile of pods! #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #ceramicartist #waxartist

An encaustic, fosshape and coldwax wall sculpture I nicknamed "the Beast" because it ended up way bigger than I had planned. It's real title is "Ripe for Extraction". #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #ceramicartist #waxartist

This is an encaustic and paper piece created for an installation a year ago. I was thrilled to be able to exhibit it again this winter. #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #ceramicartist #waxartist

A work in progress - a fairly large fosshape and encaustic wall sculpture. #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #waxartist #fosshape

Here's a view of my studio walls this sunny Okanagan morning! Ready to have a great day with wax 🐝🐝🐝 #encaustic #canadianartist #biomorphicart #femaleartist #contemporarysculpture #encausticsculpture #ceramicartist #waxartist #encaustic

I am here! I'll still post in IG, but hope to eventually walk away in totality once I've established my artsy tribe here on Blue sky. I'm sharing my most recent encaustic wall sculpture "Pearl" just recently exhibited at my solo exhibition at Headbones Art Gallery.
