These sculptures of animals in clay were done from 2010 to 2016. In 2014 I started to paint and around 2016 I switched from clay to painting in acrylic and collage. The main reason I switched, was that you had to fire clay twice in a kiln and I couldn't really have a kiln in my house. So, I switched over to painting in acrylic and collage. Much easier to do in a house.
How I switched from clay to painting is interesting. Sharon originally suggested I could avoid the second firing of the clay after glazing by painting the pottery with acrylic paint. The reason I never did this was I would still have to fire the pottery once and you couldn't use the acrylic paint on anything you might eat or drink from. In the end I switched over to acrylic painting.
