About the work:

Each piece starts with forming blossoms out of porcelain clay by hand.  The porcelain blossoms are each glazed and fired to cone 10 (high-fire).  An original painting is done on a hollow wood box that is cradled by 2" of pine. A Litho print is done on the left side of the piece over the acrylic. In the final process, porcelain blossoms are cast to the painting using a casting resin.  The blossoms become permanently embedded in the painting.

The photo to the left shows the back of the piece wired to hang.
