Individually sculpted from
slabs of clay, her animal sculptures are hand
stained, glazed and fired in an electric kiln. The
surface is sometimes silky and soft, and sometimes
textured and rough. Some of her sculptures are
smoke fired. This process creates rich, random and
spontaneous markings which added to their qualities
of serenity and earthiness. As all her sculptures
are completely crafted by hand without the use of
molds, each one is an original and no two are
exactly alike. Florence also creates some
functional accent pieces featuring animals.
Florence's animal sculptures
are exhibited in galleries around Ontario and
she participates in many juried
shows every year.
Her studio is
opened by
appointment.
