Sacred Journey Ceramics
Each and every step of the ceramic process is part of a Personal Inner Journey. After all the making and glazing, the long firing provides answers to many questions, even if it’s not what we wanted to hear. So too, our souls are altered through “trials by fire”. Some crack, some burn, but most are transformed into something wonderfully new and stronger.
I have been working in the design field for many years, and have found that the medium of clay has allowed me a more personal outlet for expression. Clay is a merging of form and spirit… the earth mixed with imagination. My stoneware pottery is meant to be enjoyed as much by use as by view. Whether it is that first sacred cup of coffee savored in the morning, a meditative journey undertaken by a finger gently following the curves of a labyrinth or the subtle messages I endeavor to impart in my Sun Faces, I strive to enhance the beauty of form with functionality.
All of the pieces I make, unless specifically noted, are food and microwave safe.
If you see something you like and wish to purchase, please contact me through email indicating which piece you’re interested in and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Many pieces pictured on my website are examples that have long since found other homes, but can be recreated. Color, size and individualization are all things to consider when you order a piece. Everything I make… even those items made from molds I created are one of a kind, and cannot be duplicated exactly. Expect some variation.

They’re bringing tables filled with eerie materials, chilling artifacts, and all sorts of spooky paraphernalia that will give you a taste of what makes their haunt legendary. And the best part? Members of the family that runs Massacre Mansion will be here to perform makeup demos and other terrifyingly fascinating demonstrations that’ll teach you the art of fright!

Lady Reborn
i’m donna renee
I was named after my aunt, Donna who died of leukemia as a child. The name Donna means lady. My Aunt Donna never had the opportunity to grow into a lady. My mother gave me the middle name Renee, meaning reborn.
This is why I created Lady Reborn Art. I may not be what you’d expect when you think of the word lady. I am certainly not afraid to get dirty and my hair is always quite a mess. But I don’t sweat the small things and I live for each day…. as some never could.
In my work, I dive headfirst into the chaos and beauty of human emotion, employing vibrant colors and textured layers that reflect the complicated tapestry of mental health. My portraits serve as a mirror for our collective experiences, depicting the intensity and nuance of feelings that often go unspoken. Each piece is an exploration of identity and connection, revealing the spectrum between clarity and confusion.
I’m driven by a relentless desire to capture the essence of what it means to exist—reflecting not only my own struggles with bipolarity but also the shared human condition. With a playful nod to my insecurities and a touch of dry humor, I invite viewers to engage with the rawness of vulnerability, ultimately creating a space for conversation about mental health.
Through every stroke and splash of paint, I aim to express the delightful oddities of life. The result? An emotional landscape that reveals the profound ties between our inner worlds and the society that shapes us. Each work embodies not just a moment in time but a heartfelt dialogue with those who dare to feel deeply. Join me on this ever-changing journey while I discover the magic around the next corner.
The Painting Badger – Artist Guest of Honour!
“The juggernaut that is steampunk, like Dr. Loveless’s giant mechanical spider in the 1999 film version of ‘The Wild, Wild West,’ seems capable of crushing all naysayers.”
– Paul Di Filippo
We’re incredibly excited to announce that The Painting Badger will be bringing us his spectacular and gobsmackingly unique art to us from the far away United Kingdom as our Artist Guest of Honor! His artwork, whose Steampunk, scifi, fantasy, weird and wonderful scope needs to be seen to be believed, features a mesmerizing blend of vintage machinery, intricate gears, and a touch of Victorian elegance, all melded with a dash of futuristic imagination. He’ll be flying in for his first US appearance!
The opportunity to have him showcase his creations here is a rare treat for our community. His steampunk art not only decorates but tells stories, transforming everyday spaces into realms of adventure and mystery. Having The Painting Badger as our guest of honor is a testament to our commitment to celebrating innovative art forms, and we can’t wait for attendees to experience the excitement and creativity he brings from across the pond.
