Artwork > Ceramic sculptures

After an artist residency in Oaxaco, Mexico a number of years ago, I began to create smaller architectural ceramic sculptures, many of which were inspired by historic Spanish churches or ancient Mayan temples. Each "altar" has a special "milagros" in the center, made of sterling silver, brass, or copper, such as the ones I saw in the Hispanic churches in Mexico. These small "milagros" represent prayers for healing or transformation, as well as blessings for love, creativity, clarity of vision, and other symbolic meanings.

To create a unique, personal altar commission, contact the artist.
