A GODDESS OF THE SEA

This is one of my early ceramic sculptures. I had been

making earth paints from scratch for some time, creating

paintings on panel in this medium since 1973.

It was only natural to extend the use of my home made

earth paints to ceramics when I began making sculptures

in 1989.
