All Sunflowers are made from fired clay, and are either painted with underglazes and/or paints. For some sunflowers, the center is stained wood. A portion of the sales of the sunflowers will be donated to Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen efforts in the Ukraine. The Sunflower is the National Flower of the Ukraine and is represented as Yellow on the Ukrainian Flag. When you purchase a sunflower, you may take the artwork with you that day. Thank you for supporting this humanitarian cause.

About the Artist: Born in rural Georgia, one of my fondest memories is visiting “Jugtown” and watching mesmerized as a lump of clay was being transformed into a vessel on a handmade kick wheel. My affinity with clay was kindled. From digging clay from a local spring to making mud cakes for my pretend childhood restaurant, clay has evolved over the years as the common denominator and go to medium in my art work. In the serenity of my studio, I recreate thoughts and memories into tangible art.
