“Eyes Up, Nickels Down” is Done... I de-installed the last of my show at abrasiveMedia today. Thanks to all the family, friends and fellow creatives that came out the last two months in support. Special thanks to Kat, Audra and the rest of the Abrasive gang. I am grateful for and humbled by the opportunity to exhibit in such a cool place. Major thanks to my collaborator, Rebekah Alexander, for her patience and willingness to create new work among my beasts. It was a wild ride. #claybeasts #abrasiveMedia #breakalltherules #nashvilleartcrawl #dogsculptures #animalsculptures #sculptures #clay #ceramic #ceramicart #nashvilleartist #beautifulbizarre Photo credit: Rus Snelling (at abrasiveMedia)

My most sincere thanks to Dianne and Mark for the invitation to teach a workshop at Blackberry Art Center. Their hospitality is as warm as their positive energy is inspiring. If you’re into ceramic art workshops, put Blackberry Hill on your list of places to visit! #claybeasts #blackberryhillartcenter #clayworkshop #ceramicworkshop #clay #ceramics #animalsculpture #dogsofinstagram #dogsculpture #tailbetweenlegs #cat #catsculpture #catridingdog #beautifulbizarre (at Blackberry Hill Art Center)
