A Ceramic Studio
& OASIS OF PEACE IN THE FRENZIED HEART OF CENTRAL NEW JERSEY
Welcome to Earthsongs
Welcome to Earthsongs, a fine art ceramic studio creating custom tiles, sculpture and murals for private residences and commercial spaces. While much of the work is done as commissions, often to be permanently installed, the studio also has an exhibition presence with its sculptural wall works in galleries and museums throughout the tri-state area.
Feel as welcome here in our corner of the digital world as you would at Earthsongs’ physical site: and so I invite you to browse, wander, read, ask questions, and contact me if you wish.
We who now live and work on this small patch of land, acknowledge that it is the ancestral home of the Leni Lenape People. These Indigenous People lived in this area for millennia, built a relationship with the earth, and cared for creation’s gift on this land we know today as Earthsongs. We recognize the tragic and destructive legacy of violence, racism, and colonialism that forced their removal from this land. We commit ourselves to the unfinished work of healing and justice that we consider a mandate.
