This totem pole is pure playful joy at its very best. These rascals are up to no good while their mom is away. They remind us of how much fun it is to be a kid and feel like you're getting away with something! I want to jump onto the pile and play too.

This rabbit is flying high - all that's missing is his superman cape!

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall for this conversation? This cat seems to have a lot on her mind.

Harmony is an elegant totem pole standing just over 6 feet tall with a beautiful stamped  flower pattern. The vibrant reds and oranges seem to sparkle. The sweet  little birds are perched together enjoying the day and sharing a song.

These pieces remind me of propellers. They are all hand stamped with a wooden batik stamp and then glazed in sunny colors

These two little birds make the sweetest music together.

Fishing  Pole was made during a time when I had a lot of mental hoops to jump  through. Not realizing it while I was making the totem pole  I thought I was  just making a totem about fish swimming . I wanted to use the hoops to  create the feeling of movement for the fish, like they were suspended in  the water. It was not until the piece was almost all built that I  looked at it and saw the hoop jumping that my life had been doing  represented in the piece. I am always amazed when this happens even  though so much of my work has an autobiographical aspect to it. I never  seem to see it coming!

I love making koi fish. They are so colorful and expressive.

This puffer fish is very prickly and seems to be a fan favorite on the totem.

Flamingo  in Paradise is suggesting a tropical setting with a flamingo picking  its way through the reeds looking for shrimp to snack on.

Leaping Rabbit is a charming totem pole. It has a garden like feeling with a little brown rabbit scampering  along through the plants.

Leaping over the waving grass this carefree rabbit goes merrily on his way.

The greens and browns tones add depth to the leaves wrapping this bead

This  sweet little bandit is peeking through the bushes asking "Who's There?". I have very fond memories of feeding raccoons over the top of  the dutch door at our cabin when I was a little girl. This little guy  always makes me smile remembering those happy childhood days.

Here is a close-up of my sweet little bandit. I always enjoy incorporating an animal sculpture into my totem poles.

My  Woodpecker Pole captures a very sweet  moment between a mother and her  babies. I love the idea of a family choosing to nest in one of my  sculptures.
By  a special coincidence, my only experience with seeing a piiated woodpecker in person came while I was making this totem pole. I had been looking at woodpecker images trying to decide what I wanted the woodpecker on the top to look like and I looked up to see that outside my window was an unbelievably large, magnificent woodpecker clinging to the side of a redwood tree. It stayed long enough for me to take some photos and enjoy its company. Then off it went and I haven't seen one since. The artist in me felt like it was a special muse sent at just the right moment.

This is a very sweet way to top off the totem.

My playful totem, “Hide and Seek” has 3 charming frogs to amuse and delight you. They are peeing around the totem so no matter which side you see there is always a friendly face there to greet you.

As with all of my sculptures “Hide and Seek” is a one of a kind piece. It will bring joy and harmony into the lives of who ever makes it theirs.

The soothing green and blue glazes will provide you with feelings of calm and harmony. “Hide and Seek” will take you to your ‘happy place’ and remind you to look for the fun in life.

The frogs on this totem are glazed with my special Philo Green Glaze that I make from clay hand dug on my land in Philo. It has an interesting mottled surface pattern that comes from the natural minerals that make up the raw clay. It was such a happy surprise to find this local clay made such beautiful frog ‘skin’. 

Inspired by my studio companion and muse, Charlotte, this playful pole is composed of dogs and cats along with their playmates. Dogs and cats bring such joy to our lives - my Charlotte keeps me laughing or saying 'aaaw' all day long. This totem showcases some of the aweet and funny things she does.

It stands about 5 feet tall. Each part of the pole is a little vignette of animal friends.

$5000.00

This cat has found a new friend on the dog's tail. I would love to listen in on their conversation. I think the mouse feels emboldened by being on his doggy friends tail.

You never know who will become friends. This totem pole is filled with charming surprises!

This is a sweet little totem - only about 48" tall - perfect for a pop of color in a smaller space.

$1800.00

This charming fellow has a beautiful tortoise shell glaze pattern and a very sweet charming face.

Red is always a nice pop of color. Combined with these yellow flowers it is a perfect compliment to the turquoise glaze on this totem.
