A white raku pottery polar bear sculpture with distinctive and unique cracks in the glaze, in full, left side.
A raku pottery polar bear sculpture being pulled from the heat of reduction.
Polaris the Bear combines the magic of raku with the feeling of first snow on a starry night: crisp air, soft light, and that moment winter asks you to slow down.
A small reminder to breathe, wander, and let the season settle in, for soon spring will come.

An image of a raku fired vase that has a tiered pedestal. It has shimmery irridescent greens, gold, blues reds and violets and some matte black areas from the reduction material.
A close up view of the lower right portion of the same vase where you can see the blues/purples and reddish hues.
A view of the other side of the vase.
This is a photo of the raku process. Several vases being placed in the flames, in a reduction bin. They are all on fire, as is the material in the bin.
Inspired by the cosmos. Born from the flames of raku. A symphony of light and movement captured.
'Skyfire' draws it inspiration from the shimmery irridescent greens, reds, golds and violets of the northern lights.

A yellow Mexican prickly poppy. The pretty flower above the spiky leaves. Pain and pleasure.

A photograph taken on Blackcomb Mountain of a marmot shouting from a top the highest rock in the area. Its mottle grey and brown coat is actually rather well camouflaged against the boulder if it weren't for how loud it was barking. The rock pile is surrounded by evergreen trees. More mountains are out of focus in the distance along with low lying clouds.
A Hollering marmot on the Highest rock. Still unsure if he was more upset about us Hikers or the circling Hawk.
