WORK WITH ME
I really enjoy working one-on-one with customers through commissions. If you see an item in my portfolio that you like, send me an email. Even though items in my Portfolio are sold, I am creating new Bouquets, Sculptures, and Totems each month, so why not something special for you?
To help you visualize your own Desert Totem, I’ve put together a gallery of Totem elements—spiky things, cactus, caps, etc. Each Totem contains 8 or more of these connectors that fit between 3-5 major flora and/or fauna pieces, depending on the height. I charge from $150 - $250 per foot, depending on the items selected. Before contacting me, consider the following:
Principal Images
Connecting Pieces
Color Scheme
Height
Final Location (inside, patio, garden, etc.)
Installation (free-standing or set in-ground)
We can work from forms like the ones depicted on my site or from your own photographs. Once a price and deposit are agreed upon, work will begin. We’ll stay in communication throughout the process and share photos as your work evolves from greenware and bisque to the final glaze stage. If you live near Tempe, Arizona, I’ll deliver and help you assemble and/or install the piece. Otherwise, it will be shipped.
(Please Note: Each element in a totem is one-of-a-kind.
The pieces pictured below are not “for sale” but “for guidance.”
Enjoy looking through the variety of shapes and pick the ones you like best.)
Let’s begin.
Select 12-15 elements to begin the process.
You could choose 2-3 pieces in each of the 5 categories--Spiky, Cactus, Flora, Fauna
or more in a single category. If you have other design ideas, simply skip this step.
When you click on an image a red selection dot will appear. Each selected element will be attached to the email you send to initiate your order.
I will contact you to review your plans before handbuilding these pieces for your totem.
