BEACH TOTEM I
Caribbean mahogany
52 x 9 x 9"
$3,500
I did this first beach totem in 1986. The totems are tall and totemic, but taken from shell pieces that I find on the beach and blow up in size...perfect for a nice log of wood to morph into a beautiful, almost abstract figure. Larger view |

CHERRY TOTEM Cherry
50 x 6 x 6"
$2,200
In the beach totem tradition, I tried to go an abstract step further. I didn't have a shell piece to copy from, but shell interiors in general using their angularity and twisted curves. Larger view |

FAMILY TREE

21 x 28 x 10"
$4,000
Thinking of my brothers and sisters, I tried to produce my feelings in an abstract manner. My husband Dave named the piece. Larger view |
