I started making totem poles because I wanted to explore the idea of stacking smaller elements up to make bigger pieces. My inspiration to do this might stem from my love of architectural design or the awe I feel when I see natural outcroppings of rock, or perhaps just from playing balancing games as a child. They all combine their set  of ‘building blocks’ into a beautiful design. It is my goal for my ‘building blocks’ to all come together to make an effortless finished pole. 

 Making a totem pole is about a 3 to 6 month process beginning with an idea for the theme of the pole and finishing with the final assembly of all of the separate pieces. The magic is what takes place in the middle.  

My whimsical totem poles are each one of a kind creations. They encompass a full array of sizes, shapes, colors and themes. I enjoy looking for the balance that comes from putting all the elements together just right to form a graceful finished piece. 

 The poles are all made of high fired stoneware clay for durability and are suitable for indoor or outdoor installations. They are mounted on a metal base plate which makes them stable to stand alone or easy to bolt down for a more permanent installation.The poles come apart for easy transport.
