Delighted to have two of my ceramic figurines selected for the Crowns of Glory exhibition at the prestigious James Wise Gallery. My figurines combine the classic European tradition of figurines with a contemporary sensibility.
These sculptural collages represent the burdens, joys and fanciful dreams
that women carry on and in their heads. At left is Leda and the Swan.

EXIBITED AT BLUE LINE ARTS GALLERY AND WINNER OF
SUNSPOT LITERARY MAGAZINE EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD
This ceramic sculpture was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine, the iconic Renaissance painting. I wanted to re-interpret in clay. The landscape in the keyhole is from another da Vinci painting. I had no idea what an ermine looked like to be honest! When I started researching, I discovered the most adorable creatures, unfortunately hunted and farmed for their fur. I was delighted to be accepted into the International Clay exhibition at Blue Line Arts in California. My sculpture will also be featured in the 2021 'Geminga' Fall edition of Sunspot's highly selective literary magazine.

CERAMICS MONTHLY SEPTEMBER 2021 ISSUE
'Elbow Deep' by Lilianne Milgrom (Full article here)
Wayne Perry’s decades-long ceramics career has been characterized by an unwavering determination to create authentic work in keeping with his beliefs and principles. One of the noteworthy aspects of this Los Angeles–based artist’s multi-faceted career is that it was largely unplanned and rather serendipitous. He explains, “I never set out to be a ‘Black potter’ or a ‘Black artist’ in the same way that I never set out to be a ceramic artist, but here I am, elbow deep in clay.” I very much enjoyed talking to Wayne about his work and how he uses the medium of clay to voice his views on life, culture and politics.

BONJOUR PARIS APRIL 2021 ISSUE
'Artists in Fiction' (Full article here)
Paris in the late 19th century and early 20th century was a period of unprecedented artistic profusion that gave the world more than its fair share of iconic art. It was the perfect storm – an unnaturally large number of incredibly talented, progressive artists congregating in a city reputed for its laissez-faire, intellectual atmosphere as much as for its legendary beauty. This period in art history makes for ripe pickings for authors.

Welcome to my studio. CHECK OUT MY NEW MIXED MEDIA WORKS!! This month's spotlight features a tender scene of a mother and child deep in sleep, each dreaming their separate dreams but connected physically and spiritually. I am thrilled to be experimenting with painted paper as a base onto which I paint my figures. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Comments or inquiries are always welcome here.
