Please welcome new ceramicist, Lois Sharpe, to the indigenous family of artists. Delightful clay art tiles and ornaments showcasing a variety of birds, and a few turtles and octopus added for fun!
"My bird tiles, medallions, and mobiles celebrate the character of the birds that share our everyday landscapes. Each piece is hand-formed and individually painted, combining expressive color, texture, and simple sculptural shapes to capture the personality of these small creatures. I’m drawn to birds as markers of connection and shifting seasons, reflecting the understated beauty of nature around us. Rather than striving for strict realism, I use a playful, illustrative approach that allows each bird to feel both recognizable and imagined. The heart-shaped medallions and intimate tile compositions invite the viewer to notice the natural world around them. These pieces are meant to bring a little bit of nature indoors—small reminders to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the beauty of the world." ~Lois
