Creating Variety through Exploration

 Pottery is Debra’s current focus. Making pottery gives Debra the opportunity to sculpt three-dimensionally, paint, and make something unique and beautiful, yet functional.  Her high-fired pots are intended to be held and used daily...some bring comfort just by holding them. Working with pottery helps her be centered (or her pots aren't centered) and to be patient due to the many steps involved. But as they say, good things come to those who wait.

 Debra is custom-making a line of pottery just for us called “Crow and His Friends”:  crow and other bird shapes stand in leaves/flowers with earthy green, black and other colored glazes. 

 Debra is also displaying her “Breath” prints at Five Crows.  This popular image looks like a stained-glass tree.  In this example, you can see how Debra loves working with color and the freedom to be expressive. 

 More of Debra’s eclectic work can be seen on her website: dagworks.com.  Debra has experimented with a wide variety of materials: mixing, layering, and exploring.  Debra is inspired by many diverse things including natural forms such as trees (her favorite motif) and abstract designs.

 Doing art allows Debra to relax, find focus, and feel joy.  She hopes you find joy in using, or gifting, her creations.
