Sometimes art evolves quickly
“Escaping Thoughts” emerging from wet clay.
This piece was formed from a slab of clay in the studio in February 2016.
“Escaping Thoughts” after ceramic glazing and multiple kiln firings.
May 19, 2016 the piece is finished and ready to be entered for juried exhibition.
The process to complete this piece was much quicker than most of my sculptures. Frequently I incorporate found objects and other media to convey my intended message. Assembling dissimilar parts takes more contemplation, planning, and sometimes actual blood, sweat and tears.
Is art less valuable if it comes easily?

About Babs
I'm a narrative sculptor navigating her way through the ever-changing currents in what feels like an art ocean. Whether appreciating the calm rhythm of calls for art and exhibiting, or waiting to catch a big wave of inspiration to take me to the top. I just love being in the water.
Formerly a pickle packer, theater major, crisis counselor and occupational therapist with a BA in Communications and a BS in Occupational Therapy, only to discover I've always been an artist.
My work grows from a strong connection to people and a passion for discovering the beauty in ordinary things. I sculpt figuratively in clay, utilizing the female form and women’s themes. Frequently my inspiration is drawn from childhood memories and my own short poems. Like each of us as humans every work is uniquely influenced by the past and present and has a narrative.
Thank you Barbara!
