Ceramic flowers and birds, china painting on porcelain mugs, paintings on canvas and waka tūpuna - a clay canoe to carry the ashes of the dearly departed on their journey to meet Hinenuitepō, goddess of the afterlife. Time spent in retirement expanding my own creativity dabbling in a variety of artistic activities...makes my spirit sour and replenishes my soul...love working with clay using my hands immersed in the substance of Papa (Earth Mother), like gardening...in tune with nature...
