i was commissioned by recchiuti confections to make plates for their chocolates display case in the ferry building. each porcelain plate has the name of one of the incredible flavors (these are just some of their AMAZING flavors). wilma was the project manager on this job and hoping there would be chocolates at the end of the tunnel.
et voilà ! she was RIGHT. this is the box of chocolates they gave us when they picked up their order. i’m eating ONE a DAY and savoring each bite of these amazing delicacies.

although i am TRYING not to do any more production work, i couldn’t pass up an order for one of my FAVORITE museums in the country . . . the ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM in boston. these 600 rocks, in progress, will be available at the beautifully curated museum store, and i personally made each one.

i am now offering customized pet urns. the difficulty of a beloved pet’s death can be overwhelmingly sad and such a huge loss. especially these days where dogs are the new babies, and we spend SO much time with them. i can say with great authority that i LOVE wilma as much as if i had birthed her myself ! here is one way to keep your pet’s memory alive every day. i designed this pet urn after one of my larger sculptural vessels. each urn is hand built out of porcelain and customized with your pet’s personal info.
details are here.

these plates are the first product that i made 17 years ago (which launched my clay career) and i am still making + selling them to this very day. i guess you could say they are my signature item. and although my work has evolved in so many other ways, these plates have remained exactly the same for all of these years. this batch is going to the gallery shop at the palo alto cultural center.

i LOVE old suitcases and totes. i have a huge collection of them that i have picked up at flea markets + antique stores around the world. this one was the perfect size and shape to contain my many tubes of acrylic paints and brushes. i believe it was an old musical instrument case . . . perhaps a clarinet ?
