This natural world within our universe inspires my work. All things I imagine and produce are borne from this.
Tempered and recycled glass is the material I use to represent my images, its properties satisfying my artistic creations. The fractures of the glass combined with its thickness, create an illusion of movement beneath water, in the air, or even within the earths core.
Testing the boundaries of the materials and manipulating salvaged glass doors, otherwise headed for landfill, my artwork continues to evolve. Each new series embodies significant shifts, based on this exploration.
Dedicated to nature, a percentage of all my sales go to nature and wildlife preservation.

Rich Corrin
Rich Corrin, an award winning artist, specializes in sculpting, carving, and spatial transformations.  Rich creates pieces that include, but are not limited to fountains, patio designs, retaining walls, totem poles, memorials, and public sculptures.  Rich’s work can be spotted locally, a koi  pond and fountain display in downtown Lafayette next to Wells Fargo Bank.  You can also find one of Rich’s original pieces, here at Mt. Diablo Nursery- a 1950’s BBQ transformed into a fountain on the back patio. The pond in the picture is a new addition to the nursery.

Emanuel Rosenheim
Emanuel Rosenheim began working with clay at the San Francisco Art Institute where he studied painting and ceramics and earned his BFA.  He taught at Diablo Valley College for many years, and ran the Concord Ceramic Studio until it closed in 2005.  His work has been in shows and is part of many private and public collections.
 “The fire and clay have lives of their own: I am not in control of exactly what happens in the firing.  I am but one element in the formula.  I have great reverence for the unplanned cracks, beauty marks, and scars my work may have.  They are all physical records of the dance with fire.  This process speaks to me of transformation and rebirth”

After a twenty year career in Marine Insurance, I opted for a more creative life.  Since 1997, mosaic work has filled my leisure time.  Since 2000, my mosaics consist primarily of the tiles I make by hand in my studio. 
Saundra’s business, In Saundra’s Garden, is located in the Jingletown arts district of Oakland, CA where she has a live-work studio in an old warehouse.  Saundra hand makes ceramic tiles for outdoor fountains, mirrors, birdbaths and other sculptural garden décor.  She also makes ceramic greenman fountain heads and sculptures, leaf plates, dishes, pears and birdseed feeders.
Saundra is active in the Jingletown Arts and Business Community (www.jingletown.org), and their annual art walks.  She teaches ceramic tile making  at the Institute of Mosaic Art (www.instituteofmosaicart.com).
