$400.
High Fired Clay
12" tall x 9"
Hollow Built
No Armature Used

Before computers, before television, before radios, before telephones, before newspapers, and before the written word, there were "Story Tellers". They were the source for all history and the tribes knowledge of previous happenings. I've chosen to use a Chumash Story Teller here to symbolize the ancient method of passing on history. The Chumash are the Native American People of the California Central Coast.
I built this using my "Hollow Built" method with high fire clay. No armature was used.

18" Tall Indiana Limestone on Marble

Purchase at Gallerie Amsterdam, Carmel, Ca.

This is one of the pieces of sculpture I was delivering to Carmel.
It's hand carved with a little electrical power used for polishing. Indiana Limestone is highly prized by sculptors because of it's even grain. Limestone is the result of billions of tiny water creature skeletons collecting at the bottom of a body of water and being compressed over eons of time. It's truly a marvelous and noble stone, rich in the earth's history. I'm very proud to say this piece was in one of the California Art Club's Gold Medal Shows. Purchase at Gallerie Amsterdam in Carmel.
