MAIOLICA POTTERY & PAINTINGS
My "Watercolor Maiolica" pottery is a culmination of hand-built clay shapes and watercolor painting sealed in glaze. I use traditional Maiolica* materials starting with fine terra-cotta clay. All of my botanical designs are original and no two are exactly alike. I love layering translucent colors using soft Chinese brushes & strokes whether it's on pottery or paper. I studied Textile Design and Fine Art in college and much later became a self-taught ceramicist. All the materials I use are lead-free and food-safe.

*Maiolica is the refined, white-glazed pottery of the Italian Renaissance
