Welcome and thank you for visiting. Since 2004 I have been creating contemporary hand-carved ceramic trompe l'oeil tree sculptures in the tradition of ancient Yixing, China.

Check out the gallery where you can see examples of hand-carved ceramic trompe l'oeil tree sculptures and functional work from the current Birch series and the original Forest for the Trees weathered log series.

In the latest news (7/710):

Two ceramic birch vases are included in a national vase exhibition held at both Clayspapes Gallery and The Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY. The exhibition honors Adelaide Robineau's Scarab Vase in the The Everson's permanent collection.

The Birch Bark Vase was awarded first place in this national exhibition. For details on the show, visit the Shows and Exhibitions page.

Photos of some brand new nonfunctional work are now in the Gallery pages. Look for some new functional pieces there as well.
