GEORGE
Tocayo! Im interest in the similarities that bring people together, be it an event, a hobby, or even a name. By morphing myself into other Georges, not only do I learn more about them, I’m also connecting our lives.
Rodriguez with Flowers
21 x 13 x 16 in
ceramic with glaze
A self portrait for celebration and a self portrait for remembrance. Flowers bring beauty, joy, and hope. I bring beauty, joy and hope, along with a good dose of humble. Look at me, look at me, I’m sprouting.
Boy
20.5 x 16.5 x 15 in
ceramic with glaze
A British singer-songwriter who helped give androgyny an international stage with the success of Culture Club. The Karma Chameleon takes the spotlight; sweet, diva, contradiction. If you really want to hurt me and you really want to make me cry, get to know me first.
Burns
18 x 13 x 19 in
ceramic with glaze
An American comedian, actor, and writer. His arched eyebrow and cigar smoke is a signature trademark of his embodied persona. On his mind, Gracie Allen adorns a martini glass paired with a couple of olives- class in glass. Deceased at age 100, he worked until the end. Have passion.
Jetson
17.5 x 14 x 17 in
ceramic with glaze
A fictional character from the animated television series The Jetsons. Wife, daughter, son, dog and robot maid; he has it all. With the cosmos on his mind, and his temper running hot, he cares most about his family. I value family. Kindness and craziness fill my eyes. Focus is essential.
Bush
18.5 x 14 x 16 in
ceramic with glaze
The 43rd President of the United States and the 46th Governor of Texas. Boots, buckles, and buddies keep W company. Manny, Moe and Jack also stay near to help with mechanics. As my home state often chants, everything is bigger in Texas… blunders included.
Clinton
21 x 16 x 15 in
ceramic with glaze
An American singer and mastermind of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic. The atomic dog is a walking embellishment. Multi pair shades, colorful hair and a larger than life appearance can blur even the darkest lines. Rock and Roll can feed the soul but can also wear the body down. Face doesn’t lie.
Curious
18 x 14 x 16 in
ceramic with glaze
A curious little monkey. Brought to the big city by the "The Man with The Yellow Hat", the possibilities are endless. Jump, swing-swing, sniff, poke, peek, play. Curiosity killed the cat, but made the monkey grow. Cheerful and friendly- a sense of exploration is important.
Ohr
24 x 18 x 18 in
ceramic with glaze
The self-proclaimed "Mad Potter of Biloxi," was an iconic American ceramic artist. He might have gone a little mad using all of his juicy lead glazes but his commitment to his craft was sane. I pay homage to the material. Fun, quirky and hardworking; a little crazy goes a long way.
Saint
24 x 23 x 13.5 in
ceramic with glaze and luster
A Christian martyr and regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. Immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon, his courage saved the day and the girl. As dragons invade his halo, his face remains stoic. Be brave, sacrifice, and get the girl. Pride is not always a deadly sin.
Sand
16 x 15 x 14 in
ceramic with stain
The pseudonym of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, French novelist and memoirist. Letters make words, which then form sentences, to be arranged as poetry, and experienced as emotions. What a novel idea. Love can sneak up and sneak away. Jot it down.
Washington
17 x 13 x 16 in
ceramic with glaze
The first President of the United States and "Father of his Country". The feathers that adorn his hair resemble a Native American ceremonial headdress before bursting into an array of stars. Sharing the name of my alma mater, his leadership skills stay in my sight. Learn then execute.
