The Home Page for Room 125!

Hello- My goal with this website is to create digital galleries that display student work
If you click on the navigation links on the top of the page you will be taken to different student artwork pages. Car Art is a page that features some awesome paintings from my advanced drawing and painting class created during the Spring of 2005. As a class, we took a field trip to the Seal Cove Auto Museum and generated sketches from their incredible collection of automobiles. We generated many photographs while at the museum also. Back at the school the students worked from the sketches and photos to complete their projects and the paintings came out Great. Under each art work is the title of the piece and the name of the student artist. In the STUDENT GALLERY will you find paintings done by my current advanced drawing and painting class. The student artist will be listed beneath the individual artworks.In  CERAMICS GALLERY there are some examples of student work.

These bowls represent some of my recent works.  I'm always trying new and different things but have been really enjoying carving the clay.  This series of bowls  relate to the natural world ,which is a common theme in my work, but the idea of the tension between the carved surface and the smooth, glossy interior produce a pleasing visual and tactile contrast which I intend to  continue exploring.
