Handmade Pots & Containers for the Home & Garden
This is a new found love of mine, taking outdoor building materials and combining them into structural, functioning planters, utilitarian artworks that I have loosely coined, 'Living Artworks'. I want to create something that can both function and add a unique flare to your home, outdoor space and garden. The phrase I keep in my mind as I am designing, constructing and planting these Living Artworks, is 'My Favorite Thing I've Never Had', the Utilization of each piece or pair of artworks combined with easy care plants that surround you in your home and garden and hopefully eventually become one of your favorite things.
The above work, a set of three, is a new work for Eagle Construction's Conference Room. Other pairs and pieces were constructed for different purposes and needs. Hand-built and sculpted, a mixed media of sorts, this is a large set three mortar and patina graced with gorgeous white Orchids and Ferns . Due to the nature of the materials and the consideration of the spaces per design, each planter or pot takes on its own work becoming a one of a kind.

New! Custom Handmade Garden Sculpture, Summer 2026
Large Handmade Root Vine Sculptures/Supports
This past winter my sweet neighbor and friend, Emily Lansford and I worked on a shared space in-between our yards building a Christmas scene. The idea was to be in a sort of winter natural wonderland and this idea of making oversized 'balls' out of actual muscadine vines from our farm was inexpensive and with just a few wire lights, quite stunning. They were easy to move around and just so sculptural and organic. After the season I started placing them around in large pots and they became even more interesting and as spring rolled around and perennials started to peak out, I started using them on the ground to add interest to my perennial beds and the plants took to them so naturally and beautifully that I had to try to make some that would become more permanent members of my garden. This was the first go around. Not an easy process and took forever but wow how fun and easy to place they are. I'm still experimenting with the placement and do they hold something, do they support something or should they just sit there??? They are so fantastic. Planning on taking them to show off at the 55th Kentuck Artshow and Festival this year!
PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING A SET OF THESE MADE.

Handmade Root Vine Planter with Live Variegated Ivy & Live Moss | Outdoor Patio Living Art | Sculptural Garden Pot with Optional Stand
This handcrafted root vine planter is designed as a one-of-a-kind, organic art piece—each one uniquely shaped by hand from outdoor building materials to mimic the natural movement of aged woodland vines. Planted with vibrant variegated ivy and finished with live moss, it brings a soft, timeless presence to any space.
Whether styled on a patio, nestled into a garden setting, or displayed as a focal point indoors, this piece reads as both planter and artwork. English Ivy have 'feet' that actually cling to surfaces in nature to aid in their unique sprawling and spreading habit. The ivy clinging to this pot is the idea as it weaves in and around the vessel forming a living work of art.

Half Moon Hanging Sconce Pot Pair
Mixed Media Large Outdoor Hanging Planters Embellished with Roses. These are super versatile, use stacked in a narrow space or use symmetrical to flank an entry. Use them empty or as a planter for draping flowers, greenery, etc. I made this pair particularly for my Mother, Phyllis, who wanted them on classic brick columns that hold her iron gated garden doors and the main entry into her garden. She has not traded me any of her fabulous pottery, yet, so I have found all kinds of uses for them both indoors and outdoors. Due to them being handmade, one is usually a touch smaller than the other and this is just lovely when using as a stacked set. Available in white as well, and a more neutral brown is in the works.

Tall White Cylinder/Sculptural Flowing Pair with Heat Loving Plants
Feminine/Masculine Pair
Highly Sculptural Tall White staggered pair of Outdoor Planters. These are just gorgeous and look great wherever I've staged them for photographing. I filled them with cool hues of late summer heat thriving plants. From tallest to lowest, 'Baby Moses' Umbrella Grass, Rosemary shrub/herb, American Agave Cacti, Ajania pacifica, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', Blue Spruce Sedum.
I'm really excited about how these function and work together. It was fun to play around with the space between them and the way they interact with one another with the feminine and masculine details, the smaller coming forward a bit allowed them to nicely fit in a corner or small space, yet they are so bold, especially with this planting combination, that they could hold their own in an open area as a focal point.
