Where did January go? Somehow it just flew past me and now I find myself in the middle of February.

Sometime ago, I was in a rut. I was in my studio everyday but everything that I made just wasn’t working out right. I would sculpt something and would end up squishing it back to a ball of clay. Whatever I had envisioned in my mind was not coming up in reality. It was quite frustrating.

There was a time when we let our yard run wild. These wildflowers grew and grew, so much so that birds were resting, almost hidden on their branches everywhere.

These words have been swimming in my mind lately. If you are going through a rough time, I just want to encourage you that God sees your pain. He is going to see you through this. Keep trusting Him, for He has a plan and purpose for your life.

This piece was inspired by a beautiful and intelligent breed. Not many people have heard of the Basenji. It’s a dog that originally came from Africa and was used to hunt large prey. And the strangest thing about it is that it doesn’t bark. Yep, you heard it right - it’s barkless!

When my friend, Samantha, reached out to me to commission a graduation present for her son, I got so excited. It’s been a while since I’ve created a sculptural tile.
